Christmas Team Member (Shopfloor/Checkout) - The Warehouse, Fraser Cove (Part-time)

The Warehouse Group is hiring for the festive rush at The Warehouse Fraser Cove in Tauranga, New Zealand. This is a fixed‑term, part‑time role designed for the busiest season of the year. If you enjoy helping customers and creating a welcoming shopping environment, this could be a good match. The store is looking to cover peak Christmas periods with a team that can bring energy and a can‑do approach to both shopfloor and checkout duties, with a view to possible longer-term opportunities within the group.

Start dates span from mid‑September through to mid‑November, and the shifts run through roughly mid‑January. The role is on site, and you’ll be part of Warehouse Country’s Christmas team, helping families find gifts, decorations and everything that makes the season special. If you thrive in a busy, friendly environment and like the idea of contributing to a memorable Christmas shopping experience, you’ll likely enjoy this time‑bound team experience.

Whether you’re new to retail or bringing some experience, this role is about delivering great service, staying busy, and pitching in where needed. It could be your first step toward a longer career with The Warehouse Group, especially for those who want to explore more opportunities after the festive period.

Shaping the Christmas experience on the shop floor and at the tills

On the shop floor you’ll help customers locate gifts, reach items from high shelves and keep displays looking their best, all while supporting the Nightfill teams to keep shelves stocked so shopping runs smoothly. At the till, you’ll be part of the final leg of the customer’s Christmas journey, scanning purchases, packing with care, and helping shoppers find last‑minute festive finds to finish their purchases on a positive note.

In both areas you’ll aim to make every interaction feel easy and friendly, contributing to a great in‑store experience during the busy season.

Must-have ingredients and nice-to-haves

To be considered, these essentials matter, with the right attitude front and centre. You must have current right to work in New Zealand, and you should bring a genuine willingness to help customers while staying reliable during peak times. Strong availability throughout December and public holidays is highly valued. You’ll also need to show you can stay positive and proactive, work well both independently and as part of a team, and be ready to roll up your sleeves when things get hectic.

Pay and practical details

Ongoing training and support are part of the package, and you’ll join a fun, supportive team with team member discounts for your own Christmas shopping. The arrangement is part‑time and on site at The Warehouse Fraser Cove in Tauranga, with start dates spread between mid‑September and mid‑November and a finish around mid‑January.

Tips to shine for this Christmas gig

Lead your resume with December availability to show you can cover the peak period when the store is busiest.

Show concrete examples that demonstrate your customer‑service mindset, your positive energy, and how you take initiative or stay busy, whether in retail or other roles.

Be ready to share a quick story about helping a customer or keeping a display tidy during a rush, and mention any checkout or stocking tasks you’ve handled, even if in a different context.

Ask about long‑term opportunities within The Warehouse Group after the season, since the listing notes this could be a first step toward a longer career with the company.
