About the opportunity

Christmas in Boots is our most exciting time of the year and it can be very busy, so we’ll provide you with all the training and support you need to help you be at your best. No two days are the same; you could be working on our tills, advising our customers or working in our back shop.

• Helping our stores run smoothly: working with us at Christmas is a great experience but can be fast paced so it’s important we make sure it all goes smoothly. It could be helping with our stock in in the stock rooms, making sure we have the right products displayed on the shop floor or providing a great service on our tills.
• Working as part of a great team: pulling together with other members in the team you will ensure that the stores are always presentable and provide a store everyone can be proud of. Working as a team to solve any issues quickly and being able to adapt to what can be a changing environment is something we love about our amazing teams in store. Supporting the store’s day to day operational activities.
