And we’re growing across London and the Home counties, with the takeover of 30 new Post Offices we\'re excited about the future for us, our customers and for you!

We’re looking for Retail & Post Office Assistants to join our teams and help deliver a fast, friendly, and expert customer experience every single day. If you thrive in a busy environment, enjoy helping people, and have a keen eye for detail, this could be the perfect role for you.

What You’ll Do

  • Assist customers with Post Office transactions and stationery purchases.
  • Provide outstanding customer service with a friendly and professional approach.
  • Accurately handle cash and process payments.
  • Keep the store organised, well-stocked, and welcoming.
  • Work as part of a tight-knit team in a fast-paced retail environment.

What We’re Looking For

  • Retail experience is a must – if you’ve worked in a busy store before, you’ll fit right in - we prefer a minimum of 2 years prior retail experience.
  • A positive attitude, great communication skills, and a genuine passion for customer service.
  • Post Office experience is great, but not essential – we’ll give you full training.
  • Strong numeracy skills and attention to detail – accuracy matters!
  • The right to work in the UK for at least 12 months from your start date.
  • The ability to lift and carry up to 12kg (those parcels don’t move themselves!).
  • You must be able to pass an enhanced DBS check.

What We Offer

 Join us on £12.27 per hour and once you are fully trained, you\'ll receive a pay rise to £12.60 per hour.

 Full-time, permanent role with competitive pay & government recommended pension.

Comprehensive training and support from your Area Manager and our Head of Retail

 Fast-track career progression – we love to promote from within.

A fun, friendly, and supportive team environment.

Our branches will operates 7 days a week, so you\'ll be expected to work some weekend shifts on Saturdays and Sundays.

You may also be asked occasionally to work in a store within 15-30 minutes travel from this location to cover staff leave and sickness.

Common Interview Questions And Answers

1. HOW DO YOU PLAN YOUR DAY?

This is what this question poses: When do you focus and start working seriously? What are the hours you work optimally? Are you a night owl? A morning bird? Remote teams can be made up of people working on different shifts and around the world, so you won't necessarily be stuck in the 9-5 schedule if it's not for you...

2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

3. WHAT IS "WORKING REMOTE" REALLY FOR YOU?

Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...

4. WHAT DO YOU NEED IN YOUR PHYSICAL WORKSPACE TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WORK?

With this question, companies are looking to see what equipment they may need to provide you with and to verify how aware you are of what remote working could mean for you physically and logistically...

5. HOW DO YOU PROCESS INFORMATION?

Several years ago, I was working in a team to plan a big event. My supervisor made us all work as a team before the big day. One of our activities has been to find out how each of us processes information...

6. HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE CALENDAR AND THE PROGRAM? WHICH APPLICATIONS / SYSTEM DO YOU USE?

Or you may receive even more specific questions, such as: What's on your calendar? Do you plan blocks of time to do certain types of work? Do you have an open calendar that everyone can see?...

7. HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE FILES, LINKS, AND TABS ON YOUR COMPUTER?

Just like your schedule, how you track files and other information is very important. After all, everything is digital!...

8. HOW TO PRIORITIZE WORK?

The day I watched Marie Forleo's film separating the important from the urgent, my life changed. Not all remote jobs start fast, but most of them are...

9. HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A MEETING AND PREPARE A MEETING? WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING DURING THE MEETING?

Just as communication is essential when working remotely, so is organization. Because you won't have those opportunities in the elevator or a casual conversation in the lunchroom, you should take advantage of the little time you have in a video or phone conference...

10. HOW DO YOU USE TECHNOLOGY ON A DAILY BASIS, IN YOUR WORK AND FOR YOUR PLEASURE?

This is a great question because it shows your comfort level with technology, which is very important for a remote worker because you will be working with technology over time...
