About the Job
The Retail Assistant works side‑by‑side with the store manager and the rest of the team to make sure the shop runs smoothly every day. This job is perfect if you love sport‑style clothing, enjoy talking to people, and want to learn how a big retail store works. You will help shoppers find what they need, keep the shelves looking sharp, and make sure cash registers are handled correctly.
What You Will Do Every Day
- Greet shoppers and show a friendly attitude at all times.
- Help customers pick items by answering questions and giving honest advice.
- Run the checkout – accept cash, cards, or other payment types and give the correct change.

- Watch for shoplifting and report anything that looks suspicious to the manager.
- Follow all shop rules, from opening procedures to security checks.

- Track sales numbers and understand the targets that help the store succeed.
Who Should Apply
- Completed Grade 12 or Matric certificate.

- A genuine interest in fashion, sport, and helping people.
- Good talking skills and a positive, can‑do attitude.
- Willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekends, and public holidays.
- Ability to stay calm and focused when the shop gets busy.
