  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Saver's is a really great place to kick start your career I'm retail, simply no 2 days are ever the same. For example one day you could be on the till actively selling great promotional products to customers, then the next you could be doing other tasks In store such as completing the mini stocktake or other paperwork. You work a base 39 hours per week with various shift patterns allowing you to gain knowledge of all aspects of the business. Savers is a really great place to work with excellent progression opportunities. I started my level 2 apprenticeship and have since gone on to become a supervisor and acted as assistant manager on one occasion.
