What we are looking for
If you meet the minimum criteria for the role then our assessment teams will take you through a number of tests and interviews to make sure you are right for the role. But when we say 'right' - what are we actually looking for in our team?
What makes a Sainsbury's employee a unique individual, delivering an outstanding level of service and quality - every day? Throughout the business there is an energy and way of working that makes us a great place to be and shop. It's hard to fully list down, but these are just a few of the qualities that we will be looking for in prospective employees:
Passion
Love what you do and try to do it to the best of your ability. You should demonstrate passion for service, products and people.
Enthusiasm
A Store or a Store Support Centre is a very big unit. Only by being a team, working well together can we be number one. We need people who can work well with each other, support and foster strong working relationships.
Commitment
When things get busy here - they can really get busy! So we need people who go the extra mile for us, knowing we'll give our all in return.
Respect
Everyone has a vital job to do in our business. We need individuals who show respect for everyone, no matter their position, background - colleague and customer alike.
Service
We deliver much more than food - it's a shopping experience. We want our service and the way we deliver retailing, to be the best and your approach should reflect that.
Performance
It's a competitive world and not only should you possess all these previous qualities, but go about applying them in a way that really delivers results. You need to be ambitious - for yourself as well as Sainsbury's.
