Dis-Chem Pharmacies is looking for a casual cashier to work at their store in Cavendish Square, Claremont. This is a fixed-term contract position, meaning it will last for a set period. The company is building a talent pool of people who can be hired quickly when they need extra help. If you apply, you might be considered for this job or other future opportunities at Dis-Chem.

As a cashier, your main job will be to help customers at the checkout and ensure they have a good shopping experience. You will use the store’s computer system to process sales, follow company rules carefully, and avoid any mistakes or fraud. This includes scanning items, handling payments like cash, cards, vouchers, and coupons, and ensuring all transactions are correct.

You will also manage the cash drawer, including counting money at the start and end of your shift, and keeping it safe and secure. If customers have questions or complaints, you will listen to them and report any issues to your supervisor. You will need to know about current sales and promotions so you can help customers find deals. Additionally, you will handle returns and exchanges when allowed, process loyalty cards, and ensure all stock is paid for before it leaves the store.

To apply, you need to have completed Grade 12 or Matric. You should have at least 6 months of experience working as a cashier or with a till. You must be comfortable using computers, especially Microsoft Office, and have good math skills. Strong English skills are important because you will talk to customers and write reports.

You should also be friendly and able to handle basic customer service tasks. Since this is a retail job, you must be willing to work during busy hours, including evenings and weekends. It would be helpful if you speak another language besides English.

You will earn a salary that matches what other cashiers in the area get paid. This is a contract job, so you will work for a set period of time. The company values fairness and supports hiring people with disabilities, so everyone has a chance to apply. Being part of the talent pool means you have a better chance of getting hired if a job opens up that fits your skills.
