Sales Assistant – AH to go Rotterdam Alexander

The role

At AH to go at station Rotterdam Alexander, Nederlandse Spoorwegen seeks an all-round sales assistant. The station is busy: travelers are in a hurry but still want quick, good service. You combine bakery and service work in a varied role where no day is the same.

Availability

Your roster is flexible and agreed with the manager. You must be able to work variable shifts between 05:30 and 20:00; each shift lasts no more than 8 hours. You need to be able to work at least two of these availability options: Monday 05:30–12:00, Tuesday 12:00–20:00, or Friday 05:30–20:00. You must be at least 18 and reach the location within 30 minutes without public transport, because it does not always run in the early morning or late evening.

Everyday tasks

• Serve customers quickly with a fresh filled sandwich and bake off croissants when they are sold out.
• Restock shelves and keep the shop in good order, from unloading deliveries to facing products.
• Work with colleagues as a team so travelers can shop quickly and pleasantly.

Requirements and team

Dutch at B1 level is required. You work with a diverse team of Dutch- and English-speaking colleagues. The vacancy seeks an all-round team player who knows how to get things done and enjoys making customers happy. It describes the station as dynamic and the colleagues as nice and sociable.

Pay and benefits

If you are 21 or older, pay is €14,99 gross per hour, excluding allowances; under 21, the youth wage under CAO VGL applies. There is a possibility of a permanent contract after 7 months. You work a fixed number of hours per week in flexible shifts, not a nine-to-five job. The vacancy also lists growth and training opportunities.

• Up to 60% discount at various station shops.
• A possible travel-cost contribution up to €10,50 per day from 10 km; parking costs are not reimbursed and there are no fixed parking spaces unless otherwise indicated.
• For combining learning and work in MBO level 3 or 4, a BBL programme may be possible.
• An induction programme includes a buddy system and onboarding app.

The vacancy refers to the VGL CAO and an education page for BBL details.

Applying

This is direct recruitment by Nederlandse Spoorwegen, not a call for acquisition. The stated procedure is: after your application is received, you hear within 2 weeks whether you continue; next is a telephone or video intake; after a positive intake, a branch interview with the manager; then, if appointed, you join Nederlandse Spoorwegen. The employer also refers to diversity and inclusion in its hiring policy. The source supplies no completed contact details or application URL and says questions can be directed to the employer or sent by WhatsApp. Ask Nederlandse Spoorwegen: which contact route should applicants use?

Relevance for students

This role may be relevant to a student who is at least 18, meets Dutch B1, can work at least two of the stated availability options, and can reach the station within 30 minutes without public transport. The fixed weekly hours, variable shifts and possible BBL route may fit some study situations, but student-specific eligibility is not stated.
