M&S stores across Scotland launch festive recruitment drive with over 850 roles available

A Customer Assistant at M&S is the face of the business and is responsible for delivering a seamless shopping experience for customers, however and whenever they choose to shop.

From serving customers on the shop floor and at service points, ensuring the shelves and rails are always stocked with exceptional product, to engaging with customers to understand their needs and make recommendations; a Customer Assistant role is varied and wide-ranging.

Christmas colleagues also play an integral role in delivering M&S’ Christmas Food to Order service, which launched this year on 24th September, ensuring millions of customers get their all-important festival essentials and treats on time.
