Job Description
Are you a highly organised and reliable individual seeking a pivotal role that operates outside the usual 9-to-5? Career.zycto is excited to be recruiting on behalf of a prominent supermarket chain for a dedicated Supermarket Night Replenishment Assistant to join their essential night shift team in Daerwood, Selkirk. This isn’t just a job; it’s an opportunity to be the backbone of daily operations, ensuring shelves are fully stocked, meticulously organised, and ready to greet customers every morning.
Working during the quieter hours, your contribution is paramount to the smooth running of the store. You’ll become an integral part of a focused team responsible for transforming the store overnight. A typical shift will involve receiving and unloading large deliveries, meticulously unpacking products, and accurately placing them onto the shop floor. This requires a keen eye for detail, as you’ll be ensuring products are displayed correctly, priced accurately, and rotated effectively to minimise waste and ensure freshness.
This role is physically demanding, involving lifting, bending, and standing for extended periods, as well as pushing and pulling trolleys and pallet trucks. You will need to be comfortable working efficiently in a fast-paced environment, often against tight deadlines to ensure the store is immaculate and fully merchandised before opening hours. Safety is paramount, and you will be expected to adhere strictly to all health and safety guidelines, maintaining a clean and safe working environment at all times.
While largely independent in your tasks, you will be a crucial part of a small, dedicated night team. Teamwork, clear communication, and mutual support are key to success. If you are someone who takes pride in a job well done, thrives in a structured environment, and is looking for consistent night-time employment with a supportive employer, we encourage you to apply. We are looking for individuals who are not afraid of hard work and are committed to maintaining the high standards our customers expect.
