Full and part time vacancies are on offer for a variety of positions including: clerical and personnel assistants; bakers; checkout operators; grocery and clothing assistants; and warehouse personnel.

 Jackie Jones from Asda said:
“We are looking forward to working with Jobcentre Plus to recruit our store team from the local community. All colleagues who join the team will receive full training for their new role prior to the store opening in October.

“Don't be put off if you have no retailing experience; at Asda it's more important that you have the right attitude and are passionate about great customer service and teamwork. We believe that if you have the right personality to work at Asda we can give you all the technical skills that you’ll need.”

“Asda is now looking to recruit for more than 400 staff based in all departments. The jobs are permanent, full and part time with contracts ranging from 12 to 38 hours per week – this includes working weekends.
