Kenilworth, Cape Town Contract Closes 24 Dec 2026

What the job is: This is a seasonal sales assistant job at Foot Gear SA, a popular footwear and fashion retailer. The position is based in the Access Park store in Kenilworth, Cape Town. If you enjoy working with people, love fashion, and want to gain experience in retail, this could be a great opportunity for you. The role is temporary, running from mid-November to 24 December 2026, and is perfect for someone looking to earn money while learning new skills.

What you will do: As a seasonal sales assistant, your main job will be to help customers find the right shoes or footwear that fit them perfectly. You will provide excellent customer service by being friendly, helpful, and attentive to what shoppers need. Part of your role will also include promoting the store’s products and the brand itself, so you’ll need to be enthusiastic and knowledgeable about what Foot Gear SA offers.

You will be responsible for keeping the store neat and organized by restocking shelves and making sure everything looks inviting for customers. Handling sales at the checkout is another important part of the job, so you’ll need to be comfortable processing payments and giving receipts. Learning about the products in detail will help you answer customer questions and recommend the best options.

Working as part of a team is key, so you’ll collaborate with your colleagues to create a positive shopping experience for everyone who walks into the store. The role can be busy, especially during peak times, so staying energetic and focused will be important.

What you need: To apply for this job, you need to have at least a Grade 10 or matric certificate, though it’s not strictly required if you have a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. Experience in retail is a bonus, but it’s not necessary—what matters most is that you enjoy working with people and have a passion for fashion and shoes.

You should be ready to work during weekends, public holidays, and busy shopping periods, as these are the times when the store is most active. Since this is a seasonal role, you must be available to start from mid-November and work until 24 December 2026. No prior experience is needed, but a friendly personality, good energy, and teamwork skills will go a long way.

What you will get: While this job is about earning money and gaining experience, you’ll also get the chance to work with a fun and fast-paced team that makes shopping enjoyable for customers. The role is a great way to build skills in customer service, teamwork, and retail operations, which could open doors for future opportunities within the company.

There’s also the potential to grow within Foot Gear SA if you perform well and enjoy the work. The job is hands-on and practical, so you’ll learn by doing while earning an income during the holiday season. It’s a great way to kick-start a career in retail or gain experience for future job applications.
