What You’ll Be Doing

As a Shop Assistant Cashier, your main goal is to make customers feel welcome and valued. You’ll handle sales, keep the store neat, and make sure every shopping experience runs smoothly. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Greeting and assisting customers with warmth and professionalism.
  • Ringing up purchases accurately at the till point.
  • Helping customers find the right products and recommending extras when possible.
  • Answering phone calls and helping customers with questions or special requests.
  • Keeping customer information accurate and up to date.
  • Making sure shelves are well-stocked, organized, and visually appealing.
  • Replenishing stock regularly and ensuring displays look fresh and inviting.
  • Checking that price tags and signage are correct.
  • Receiving and unpacking new deliveries neatly and efficiently.
  • Maintaining a clean and tidy store at all times.
  • Preparing the store for the next trading day.
  • Assisting management during stock counts.
  • Looking after store equipment and reporting any issues.
  • Following all health and safety rules carefully.
  • Handling both cash and card payments accurately without errors.
  • Managing basic daily banking tasks.
  • Understanding daily and weekly sales targets and working hard to achieve them.
  • Helping to prevent stock losses and improve store profitability.

This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy teamwork, are trustworthy, and can handle busy store environments with confidence and a positive attitude.


What You Need to Qualify

To be considered for this position, you’ll need:

  • Matric certificate (Grade 12)
  • Experience in one or more of these roles:
    Cashier, Store Assistant, Retail Salesperson, Sales Associate, Sales Consultant, or Retail Assistant.
  • Good communication skills in English
  • A clean criminal record
  • Must live within 15 km of the job location

Preferred but Not Compulsory

Refinery also welcomes candidates who:

  • Are between the ages of 18 and 35
  • Have a friendly personality and a passion for customer service
  • Are willing to learn and grow within the retail environment

Even if you don’t meet every preference, you are still encouraged to apply — Refinery values hard work, honesty, and dedication more than anything else.


What Makes Refinery a Great Place to Work

Refinery is part of the Pepkor Speciality Group, known for its trendy, high-quality clothing and excellent customer experience. Working here means being part of a stylish, supportive team that values creativity, teamwork, and good service.

At Refinery, you won’t just work behind the till — you’ll become part of a brand that’s passionate about helping customers feel confident in what they wear. The environment is fun, fast-paced, and full of opportunities to learn new retail skills.

Whether you’re a student looking for part-time work, someone returning to the job market, or simply someone who enjoys fashion and customer service, this is a chance to join one of South Africa’s most exciting clothing retailers.


The Application Process

If this sounds like you, then don’t miss your chance to apply. The process includes completing an online application and a short Customer Centric Potential Work Performance Assessment to help Refinery understand how you’d handle different customer service situations.

You’ll also be asked a few simple questions, such as:

  • How do you handle payments and busy checkout lines?

  • Have you ever worked with a POS (Point of Sale) system?
  • How do you deal with unhappy customers?
  • Do you currently work for a Pepkor brand (like Refinery, Tekkie Town, PEP, Ackermans, or Dunns)?

Take your time to answer these honestly and show your enthusiasm for working in a customer-facing role.
