Location: GU1 1RU
Salary and Financial Benefits
£25,654 per year, plus a bonus (with an average quarterly team bonus of around 10–12%) and benefits package. This includes an annual salary review, a generous pension scheme, a Sharesave scheme, free on-site parking and vouchers to celebrate milestone birthdays and long service achievements.
Sociable Working Hours
This is a 40-hour per week role, worked across any 5 out of 7 days. You will benefit from a supportive work-life balance with a mix of weekday shifts, either 8:15am–4:45pm or 9:15am–5:45pm.
If working on a weekend, shifts are 8:45am–5:45pm on Saturdays and 9:45am–4:15pm on Sundays.
We support individual needs through fair and advanced rota planning. You will not be expected to work every weekend, providing the consistency and predictability to plan personal commitments.
Work Life Balance
Alongside flexible and predictable working hours, we recognise the importance of time away from work. You will receive 28 days’ holiday (increasing with length of service), plus an extra day off to celebrate your birthday. Additional benefits include regular social events, enhanced parental and adoption packages, discounted gym memberships and a paid day off for volunteering.
Personal and Professional Development
Development starts from day one with a comprehensive induction programme, designed to build knowledge and confidence in the role. After successfully completing probation, there will be access to further development opportunities through the e-learning platform and face-to-face training courses.
We offer clear, structured career progression pathways for those looking to advance, along with mentorship from the experienced management team to support career progression.
Our Culture
We are committed to delivering outstanding customer service while sustaining a positive and supportive workplace for all colleagues. This is achieved by encouraging teamwork, keeping the customer at the heart of every decision and continually investing in employees.
Our approach is helpful, empathetic and flexible, with a strong commitment to doing the right thing for customers, colleagues and local communities.
What the role involves
With full training and support from day one, this role plays a key part in helping customers during important moments in their lives. It is a varied, people-focused position — not a warehousing role — combining customer service with day-to-day store operations.
Key responsibilities:
• Deliver friendly, professional service in person, by phone and via email.
• Understand customer needs and recommend suitable storage solutions.
• Work collaboratively to maintain a positive team environment.
• Support daily store operations, including cleaning, restocking and presentation standards.
• Follow health, safety and security procedures.
• Manage customer accounts accurately using established systems.
Some light physical tasks are involved, with full training and equipment provided.
About The Organisation
Here at Big Yellow, people are at the heart of our business. When customers visit one of our stores, their journey begins with you. That’s why it’s essential you showcase your personality including integrity, empathy and a genuine passion to help others. We are a small but close-knit company, where each individual person matters. Despite our rapid growth over the past 25 years, we’ve maintained a strong family feel, and our success has come from great people, delivering an outstanding customer experience. We take a can-do attitude, combined with always doing the right thing – whatever the challenge.
We take great pride in the culture we’ve created—a fun, supportive, and positive place to work. Our store teams are small, allowing colleagues to work closely together, build trust, and form strong relationships. The role itself is highly varied, making it ideal for those who enjoy a job where no two days are the same. But it’s not just about work—we also encourage our teams to socialise, connect, and celebrate their successes together.
So, if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with everything in the job description, we would encourage you to apply. It’s not just your skills we are looking for, it’s your personality. If you have a warm and friendly manner, great listening skills, a genuine desire to help others, a positive attitude and are not afraid of a challenge, please get in touch.
We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace. We welcome applications from people from all walks of life regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, responsibilities for dependents, age, physical / mental disability or offending background. If you require us to make any adjustments to our interview process, then please let us know.
