The successful candidate will be responsible for processing customer purchases accurately and efficiently while maintaining high standards of service. The role requires someone who can handle cash and other payment methods responsibly, follow established procedures and contribute to a positive shopping experience.
As a cashier, you will be an important point of contact between the store and its customers.

Key Responsibilities
The successful candidate will assist with the day-to-day operation of the till and ensure that customers receive efficient and professional service.
Responsibilities will include processing purchases and accepting approved payment methods such as cash, bank cards, vouchers and coupons. The cashier will also be expected to process customer loyalty cards and ensure that transactions are accurately captured on the company’s operating system.
You will be required to follow all relevant cashiering procedures, including obtaining appropriate approval for line voids, price adjustments and authorised merchandise returns. Maintaining the accuracy and security of the cash drawer will be an important part of the position.
The successful applicant will also:
- Welcome customers and maintain professional relationships.
- Respond to customer queries regarding merchandise.
- Communicate customer complaints and compliments to the appropriate supervisor or store management.
- Stay informed about current promotions and sales.
- Maintain the required customer turnover and service standards.
- Follow the company’s customer service and communication principles.
- Ensure cash is handled and stored securely according to company procedures.
- Keep daily takings confidential and discuss financial matters only with authorised management.
- Ensure personal till codes and passwords remain secure.
- Make sure outgoing stock and relevant items are properly scanned and paid for.
- Remain alert to suspicious activity and report concerns to management.
- Follow store security procedures and help maintain a safe shopping environment.
- Ensure customers and colleagues are not unnecessarily exposed to workplace risks.
