A Sales Associate at Totalsports works on the shop floor, helping shoppers find the right sport‑fashion gear and making sure the store looks tidy and inviting. The role is all about giving great customer service, hitting sales targets, and keeping the shelves full of the latest products.

- Strong spoken and written English.
- A genuine interest in customer service and retail environments.
- Willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends.
- Ability to work well as part of a team.
