About our company
In 2019 Savers were awarded 4th place in the Sunday Times best big companies to work for. We were the highest placed retailer in the list. This recognises the levels of engagement within our teams and demonstrates our commitment to our people.
Savers was acquired by AS Watson in 2000 to further our value led offer in the UK. Our aim is to be the most competitively priced health and beauty retailer on the high street, providing branded products at affordable prices. We have over 400 stores throughout England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales and are still expanding.
Outline of the role
The Retail Apprenticeship will involve working in our store as a full-time team member, helping with every aspect of creating a great customer experience and learning about how a retailer operates their business. It is a great experience working in a fast-paced and fun environment that will prepare you for even bigger challenges. Savers Sales Assistants are extremely important to us, and we recognise that you could be our Supervisors of tomorrow. We will actively develop your skills and offer real career progression supported by our excellent in-house training.
Duties will include:
1. Demonstrating exceptional customer service
2. Understanding the business and maintaining the brand reputation
3. Using knowledge to promote products to customers
4. Highlighting promotional offers to work towards achieving sales targets
5. Supporting promotion changes and stock rotation
Your training will take place in store over the first 12 months, so no college days and no homework! At the end of your training period, you will complete a discussion around your experiences, a multiple-choice test, and an observation within your role. You will be supported throughout by your team and your assessor to achieve your Retailer Level 2 Apprenticeship.
