Our Customer Service Assistant roles are integral to supporting our customers and local communities and can be a very rewarding role.

Community Involvement

As a convenience retailer, it’s really important to us that our stores and colleagues are truly embedded within the communities that we serve. Whether that’s fundraising for local charities and groups or for our charity partners – supporting those in need is at the heart of all we do .

At One Stop, we’re so proud to have raised over £10.4million in the last 10 years! Not only this, we also work incredibly hard to tackle food waste by partnering with FareShare and Olio. Since 2015 our stores have donated an amazing 1.6 million equivalent food bank meals for our communities.

Working at One Stop will allow you to get involved in supporting charities within your community and those that are close to your heart – and our colleagues have had a go at everything! From climbing mountains, to running marathons in Spain to simply organising a raffle, we’re up for anything!
