Looking for a role where every day is different? Join Aramark UK as a Shop Assistant and become part of a team that makes a real difference in a unique environment.

This isn't your average retail job - you'll be working in the Judicial sector, so attention to detail and professionalism are key. If you're friendly, organised, and love providing great customer service, we'd love to hear from you!

• Deliver outstanding customer service and operate tills confidently
• Keep shelves stocked and displays looking great
• Handle deliveries, stock checks, and maintain accurate records
• Support with picking and packing orders
• Maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming shop environment
• Occasionally escort customers (prisoners) to and from the shop
• Assist with admin tasks like answering calls and emails.

What we're looking for:

• You've lived in the UK for the past 5 years and have the legal right to work
• Able to pass full security vetting and DBS checks
• Previous retail or customer service experience is a bonus - but not essential!
• Comfortable working as part of a team and sometimes on your own.
• Work-life balance: Shifts between 08:00 and 16:30 - evenings free!
• Great perks: Free meals, free parking, Blue Light Discount Card after probation
• Benefits: Life assurance, pension contributions, generous holiday allowance (with option to buy more)
• Employee extras: Access to our benefits app with online GP, mental health support, and hundreds of discounts
