About the Opportunity
The organisation is investing in its Hermanus operation, and this Retail Sales Assistant position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the retail jobs function and contribute to the wider Western Cape business.

Your Workplace

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Western Cape. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
