Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. A Sales Consultant is needed in Newcastle. The role focuses on consistent delivery, accurate work and clear communication across the KwaZulu-Natal operation.
The Role
An experienced Sales Consultant is needed to support operations in Newcastle. The role forms part of how the business keeps its retail jobs portfolio strong in KwaZulu-Natal.
Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.
Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the retail jobs group in Newcastle.
Based in Newcastle
Working in Newcastle means a place near the Berea office node, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the KwaZulu-Natal region, and the Newcastle office benefits from those long-standing connections.
If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal.
Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Newcastle.
Meet the Team
The team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Newcastle office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when KwaZulu-Natal operations get busy.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
In addition, the team mix in Newcastle reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
Day in the Life
Your day usually starts before the doors open, walking the floor, checking displays and making sure tills are float-ready. As customers arrive, you switch into service mode, moving between till points, fitting rooms and the stockroom, helping shoppers find what they need and keeping a quiet eye on shrinkage. By the afternoon, you might be receiving a delivery, training a new team member or planning the next promotion, and by close of business you’re cashing up, balancing reports and getting the store ready to do it all again tomorrow.
Importantly, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when KwaZulu-Natal operations throw up the unexpected.
Crucially, the Newcastle office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
Daily Duties
- Keep the store, change rooms and stockroom clean and organised
- Monitor shrinkage indicators and flag suspicious activity
- Greet customers and provide a friendly, helpful in-store experience
