Seasonal Online Fulfilment Assistant
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Seasonal Online Fulfilment Assistant helps Boots process customer orders accurately and efficiently. Typical duties include picking products from stock, packing parcels, checking order details, preparing items for collection or delivery, replenishing shelves, and maintaining a clean, organised working area. The role requires good attention to detail, reliability, basic numeracy, and the ability to work at pace during busy seasonal periods. Candidates should be comfortable standing for long periods, handling stock, following safety procedures, and using simple store or fulfilment systems. A helpful attitude, teamwork, flexibility with working hours, and a strong focus on customer service are expected. Previous retail, warehouse, or online order experience may be useful, but training is generally provided.
Can I work in Ireland?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Shop-floor, checkout and supervisor jobs are on the ineligible list; store managers and head-office roles can get a General Permit (EUR 36,605) after a 28-day advert.
Before you apply: Shop-floor jobs need no professional licence. Pharmacists do: they must register with the local regulator, and one qualified abroad often has to pass local exams first. Selling alcohol can need a short course and certificate, for example in Australia.
Watch for: Pharmacists are on the Critical Skills list, but pharmacy assistants are ineligible; in practice a working holiday is the way into shop jobs.
