Store Assistant
Role Description
Reporting to our Scrapstore Manager, you will work in our store in Weston-super-Mare providing support and advice to customers and selling our scrap resources. Your role will also involve restocking and reorganising our shelves and display areas to suit the wide variety of resources that we have in store.
