Shelf Packer (Supermarket, Weekend Shift)

You'll keep the shelves full and tidy at a wholesale cash-and-carry in Rosslyn, so shoppers find what they came for. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is Rosslyn-based, with most of your time spent at a wholesale cash-and-carry. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

• Collect trolleys from the parking lot
• Face products so labels point forward and gaps are filled
• Pack shelves from the back, rotating older stock to the front (first in, first out)
• Unpack deliveries in the receiving area and sort by aisle
• Help customers find products and carry heavy items to cars

• Honest, since stock losses are checked closely
• Polite with customers and happy to help
• Neat appearance and punctual
• Basic reading and maths for price checks

• Own transport for route merchandising jobs
• Previous shelf packing or merchandising work

• Travel allowance on merchandising routes
• Paid training in store procedures
• Chance to move into till or department roles
• Staff discount on groceries

• Hand your CV in at the store in person, early in the week, and ask for the store or receiving manager by name.
• If you have ever sold anything, even at a school tuck shop or a family stall, list it. It shows you are comfortable with customers.
