We're currently seeking a Buying Assistant or Graduate to join our dynamic Appliances Direct team at our Huddersfield head office.

You'll be working closely with our team of Buyers and Assistant Buyers, providing invaluable support through a variety of reporting and administrative tasks.

This role offers more than just a job; it's a fantastic opportunity to expand your knowledge and kick-start your career in Buying. We’re offering a salary of £25,070 per annum, dependent on experience, along with a great range of benefits, including healthcare cashback, staff discounts, a holiday purchase scheme, and a day off on your birthday after a year’s service.

Our ideal candidate:

Great communication and organisation skills.
A commercial mindset, coupled with curiosity and analytical skills.
