Supermarket Assistants
Opening October 2025
We’re getting ready to open the doors to our brand-new PAK’nSAVE in Rolleston – and we’re on the lookout for enthusiastic, motivated people to help bring our store to life!
This is a rare opportunity to be part of something special from day one – helping shape a store that’s proudly committed to becoming the best low-cost supermarket in New Zealand, serving one of the country’s fastest-growing communities with great value and great service.
How to apply:
Click Apply, attach your CV, and tell us a bit about yourself – including your availability. We’ll begin shortlisting shortly and aim to hold interviews in late August. Keep an eye on your junk/spam folder in case our emails land there.
About the roles:
We’re looking for a mix of full-time and part-time team members. All roles will include working either a Saturday or Sunday shift, but we’ll confirm hours with successful applicants before offering a role.
Here are the departments we’re hiring for:
- Checkouts / Lotto – Deliver fast, friendly, and efficient service at the front line of our store. You’ll be interacting with customers every day, so a positive attitude and attention to detail are essential.
- Grocery / Dry Goods / Chilled & Frozen – Help keep our shelves fully stocked, clean, and organised. This hands-on role involves some lifting and requires good time management and a team-first mindset.
- Produce – Make sure our fresh fruit and vegetables are well presented, rotated regularly, and meet our high-quality standards. You'll need a good eye for detail and a passion for fresh food.
- Service Deli – Prepare and serve a range of ready-to-eat foods while maintaining strict food safety and hygiene standards. A warm, customer-focused approach is key in this fast-paced environment.
- Bakery – Support the preparation and presentation of fresh breads, rolls, and baked treats. You’ll work early hours, follow recipes, maintain a clean workspace, and have an eye for quality.
- Butchery – Assist with cutting, packing, and displaying quality meat products. This role requires a focus on food safety, cleanliness, and a willingness to learn in a skilled trade environment.
What we're looking for:
You’ll be someone with a great attitude who’s keen to jump in and get the job done. Ideally, you’ll also:
- Show up on time and be someone we can count on.
- Be happy to get stuck into whatever needs doing.
- Have a reliable way to get to and from work.
- Be great at working as part of a team.
- Be honest, organised, and take pride in your work.
- Always have safety top of mind.
If you’ve worked in retail or a supermarket before, that’s a bonus – but don’t worry if you haven’t. We care more about attitude than experience.
Why join us?- Help set up and grow a brand-new store from day one.
- Be part of a team focused on doing things right – for customers, the wider community, and each other.
- Join a trusted brand with the energy of a fresh new opening.
- Work in a modern, purpose-built environment with room to grow.
