What we're looking for
​​​​​​​

Our team members are positive people who contribute to our inclusive culture – and that’s what we’ll look for in you, as well as: 

Enthusiasm and willingness

We love it when people are willing to pitch in and step up when required. If you’re motivated to go over and above for our customers and energise others around you, it will be a huge advantage.

A great attitude

Positivity goes a long way and a great attitude is one of your best assets. We want to see you working hard, engaging with our customers, contributing to your team and enjoying your job.

A passion for customer service

If you love the idea of helping our customers and creating joyful moments in their day, then you’re the type of person we want in our team. You’re friendly, helpful, keen to make people’s lives easier… and you do it all with a smile.

A safety-focused approach

This is very important because it’s everyone’s responsibility to make sure we all go home safe and well. You’ll actively listen and participate in all our safety training initiatives and always keep safety front of mind.

Reliability and trustworthiness

We’re looking for reliable and trustworthy people. You’ll always make an effort to be on time and honour your commitments. If you notice something wrong you won’t be afraid to call it out, so we can fix it.

Pride in your presentation

Not only do you pride yourself on your personal appearance, but you also value keeping your work area clean and presentable at all times.
