About the role

We’re looking for a proactive and adaptable Range Assistant to join our busy Head Office team in Wellingborough. You’ll support the Range and Merchandising team in shaping the layout and product range of our branches across the UK.

You don’t need previous experience as a Range Assistant — we’ll teach you how our range and merchandising processes work. However, some background in administration would be advantageous, and a basic understanding of retail (such as how a planogram works) would be helpful.

You’ll be working closely with colleagues across different teams, so being able to tailor your communication style and build effective working relationships is key. We’re also looking for someone who stays motivated during quieter periods and takes initiative to pick up tasks without being prompted. If you’re naturally curious, self-driven, and enjoy making a difference behind the scenes, we’d love to hear from you.

You will be responsible for

Providing accurate and timely administrative support

Ensuring data accuracy across product codes and modules

Liaising with internal teams and external contacts

Building strong working relationships across departments

Supporting the wider team with day-to-day tasks

Delivering excellent customer service

You will need

Great communication skills and the ability to work well with different people

A good eye for detail and a proactive mindset

Confidence managing your own workload and staying organised

Basic to intermediate Excel skills — if you’re not quite there yet, there’s informal support to help you build confidence with things like formulas and VLOOKUPs

A willingness to learn new systems like SAP and get stuck into new processes

Self-motivation to take initiative, especially when things are a bit quieter

Some understanding of retail (e.g. planograms) is useful

Previous admin experience is required

We know life looks a little different for each of us. That’s why at Booker and Best, we always welcome conversations about flexible working. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we may be able to support you.

We’re proud that Booker is a Disability Confident Committed employer and we’re committed to providing a fully inclusive and accessible recruitment process.

Please note

We can only accept candidates over the age of 18 if the role requires working before 6:15 am or after 9:45 pm or involves working in areas such as the warehouse, beers, wines & spirits, and driving roles.

On the occasions where we have high volumes of applicants, some roles may close earlier than the advertised end date in order for us to manage all of the applicants appropriately. We will only be able to offer individual feedback to those candidates who attend an interview.
