deliver unforgettable customer
service this Christmas!
As the UK’s leading non-food retailer, the run-up to Christmas
is by far our busiest time, so we need enthusiastic, flexible
people who will keep our customers happy by delivering
exceptional service.
About Argos
We have over 700 stores, which means there’s an Argos
within 10 miles of 95% of the UK population. We also have
an increasing presence in the Republic of Ireland.
We’ve always been dedicated to making sure our customers
can choose from the best range of goods at the most
competitive prices. Not to mention the most convenient
shopping experiences. So we’ve continually evolved to improve
and widen the range of services we offer.
Whatever we do, we’re only as good as our people. They’re
the real secret of our success. The ones who deliver exceptional
customer service are the ones that build strong rapports with
customers, enabling them to understand fully what the
customer wants and highlight the benefits and features of our
fantastic range of products. Service excellence like this makes
Argos more than just a shop and keeps our customers coming
back for more, time and time again.
Temporary Jobs for Christmas
Across our business we recruit thousands of temps at
Christmas. All that extra energy really creates a great buzz
within our stores.
Join us and we’ll give you a brilliant 10% discount from day
one as well as a great working environment and loads of
training and opportunities. In fact, some of our previous
Christmas temps have enjoyed it so much they’ve stayed for
good and gone on to be managers. We also offer flexible
hours to suit your lifestyle and competitive hourly rates of pay.
We’ve got stores across the country, so you’re bound to find
the perfect place for you.
