Love helping people and fancy a role that’s full of colour, variety, and great customer connections?

We’re on the lookout for friendly, customer-focused Sales Assistants / Drivers to join our amazing Crown Decorating Centre teams across the UK.

At Crown, it’s not just paint, it’s personal — and we’re looking for people who share our passion for great service and going the extra mile.

• We have part-time and full-time roles available, on both permanent and temporary contracts (Monday – Friday and some Saturdays on a rota basis).

• In return, we’re offering a salary of £12.21 per hour + bonus + a brilliant benefits package.

This is a national advert – we’re hiring across the country, not for one specific store.

What you can expect from this role?
No two days are the same in our Crown Decorating Centres. As a Sales Assistant / Driver, you’ll be part of a supportive store team, helping customers find the perfect products, making local deliveries, and keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. From trade professionals to DIY decorators, you'll build great relationships and help them get the job done.

With 148 stores across the UK, our CDC network is buzzing with energy, and we’re proud of the service we deliver. Whether you're chatting with a first-time painter or supporting a long-standing trade customer, your passion and positivity will shine through. You’ll also play a key role in spotting new opportunities, opening customer accounts and helping grow your store’s success.
