What our Supervisors say

"I love working at the Entertainer as no two days are the same. A typical day in the life of a Supervisor would include managing deliveries, merchandising, pricing and finally (and most importantly!) providing excellent customer service to every customer. Interacting with children via our steps at till the point or allowing them to play with us through instore demonstrations is what makes us unique and makes my role so enjoyable. Seeing children leave with a smile on their face and making memories they will take with them when growing up makes for happy, returning customers. We are all one big family at The Entertainer with just one mission to be 'the best loved toyshop'."

We reserve the right to close this vacancy before the published closing date, should we receive sufficient applications for the role, thank you.
