adidas invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for its Permanent Part‑Timer vacancy at the Thavhani store in Thohoyandou, Limpopo. The closing date for applications is 30 September 2026.
About the Role
adidas is looking for a reliable, energetic person to join the retail team on a permanent part‑time basis. The job is perfect for anyone who loves fashion, sportswear, and helping people find the right product. You will work side‑by‑side with the store crew, keep the shop tidy, and make sure every customer leaves happy.
The position gives you hands‑on experience with sales, cash handling, stock moves, and using the point‑of‑sale (POS) system. It’s a great way to learn how a big global brand runs its stores while you earn a wage and develop useful skills.
What You’ll Do Every Day
- Greet every shopper with a friendly smile and help them find what they need.
- Explain product features, sizes, and styles in simple terms.
- Use selling tips to encourage add‑on purchases and reach sales targets.
- Process payments safely, whether cash, card, or approved digital methods.
- Keep the POS register accurate and follow all transaction rules.
- Unpack new stock, check the paperwork, and move items from the backroom to the shop floor.
- Make sure the shelves are stocked, neat, and attractive.
- Set up displays according to the manager’s plan and refresh them regularly.
- Keep the store clean – sweep, wipe, and tidy up as needed.
- Watch the floor for any suspicious activity and report it right away.
- Follow loss‑prevention policies, including the SLAP (Security, Loss, Asset Protection) guidelines.
- Take part in training sessions, online learning tools, and store meetings.
- Use tools like Atticus, AREA, and Power BI to learn more about products and store performance.
- Help teammates with any extra tasks that come up.
What You Need
- Matric certificate (or equivalent).
- 0‑1 year of retail experience (any shop work counts).
- Interest in fashion, sneakers, and sports gear.
- Strong, upbeat communication – you should feel comfortable talking to strangers.
- Ability to work well in a team and also handle tasks on your own.
- Flexibility to work weekdays, evenings, and weekends.
- Quick learner who is ready to master adidas products, promotions, and sales techniques.
- Good attention to detail and a positive attitude.
Having worked in fashion retail before is a plus but not a must.
What adidas Is Looking For
adidas wants someone who truly enjoys helping people look and feel good. You should be confident when you talk to shoppers and able to suggest items that match their style and needs. The ideal candidate loves learning new things, can stay calm when the store gets busy, and always puts the customer first.
Being adaptable is key – retail shifts can change, and you may need to switch from stocking shelves to handling the cash register in a short time. Team spirit is important; you’ll succeed when you support your coworkers and share the store’s goals.
Why This Job Is a Good Move
- Real‑world experience with a world‑renowned sports and fashion brand.
- Learn the full cycle of retail: customer service, sales, merchandising, stock handling, and loss prevention.
- Build transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, problem‑solving, and cash‑handling.
- Opportunity to grow within adidas if you prove yourself in the role.
- Flexible part‑time schedule that can fit around study or other commitments.
If you love sneakers, street style, or just enjoy meeting new people, this role can be the first step toward a lasting career in retail.
