These are 3-month contract opportunities for people who enjoy helping customers, working in retail and being part of a busy team. The closing date for applications is 2 October 2026.

This opportunity may suit someone who wants to gain more experience in retail and improve their customer-service and sales skills.

One of the main parts of the job is helping customers. You will be expected to welcome customers when they enter the store and make sure they receive the help they need.

Other stock-related duties may include:
Being careful is important when working with stock. Incorrect stock records can cause problems for the store, so employees are expected to follow the correct procedures.
A retail store needs to look neat and welcoming at all times. Seasonal Sales Assistants will help with general housekeeping and keeping the shop in good condition.

You may also be required to help managers with opening and closing the store.
These tasks may seem simple, but they are important because customers are more likely to enjoy shopping in a clean, organised and well-presented store.
Another part of the role is making sure Crocs products are displayed correctly.
Sales Assistants may help maintain product displays according to Crocs standards. This can include making sure the right sizes are available and that products are presented neatly.
You may also assist with:
Good product presentation can make it easier for customers to find what they want and can also help the store achieve its sales goals.
Successful applicants will not simply be expected to know everything from their first day. Crocs places importance on training and employee development.
New employees may be given a buddy during their early period at work. This can help them understand how the store works and learn what is expected from them.
Employees are also expected to take responsibility for learning their duties. Training sessions and assessments may form part of the role.
You may also have regular discussions with the store manager about your performance and progress.
This makes the position useful for someone who wants to develop their confidence, communication skills, sales skills and general retail knowledge.
