Branch Assistant

Overview

We are looking for someone with a real can‑do attitude who is passionate about delivering excellent customer service and willing to go the extra mile for our customers. Working as part of a team you will be working in a dynamic, fast‑paced environment where no two days are the same. We are a 5/7‑day operation (check our website for specific opening times).

We only recruit individuals who are aged 17 and over.

Booker is the UK's leading food & drink wholesaler. We serve independent retailers, caterers and small businesses from locations across the country. We operate over 190 cash and carry branches, eight distribution centres, five Best Food Logistics sites, as well as six support centre locations across the UK. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) at Booker means that whoever you are and whatever your background, we always want you to feel represented and that you can be yourself  short, we're a place where everyone's welcome.

We understand life looks a little different for each of us and welcome conversations about flexible working.

You will be responsible for ensuring customers are at the heart of everything we do. Our customers need to be back in their own business as quickly as possible having found what they need. We keep the shelves full, provide speed of service through the tills and wish them a fond farewell. If customers need a delivery, we accurately pick what they need.

You will need:

• A can‑do attitude
• Passion for customer service
• Willing to go the extra mile
• Always be there, on time and properly presented.

We can only accept candidates over the age of 18 if the role requires working before 6:15 am or after 9:45 pm or involves working in areas such as the warehouse, beers, wines & spirits, and driving roles. On high volumes of applicants, some roles may close earlier than the advertised end date.
