Location: Coventry Store Support Centre - Ansty Park and Home, Coventry, CV7 9RD
Contract type:
Business area: Sainsbury's Commercial & Sustainability
Closing date: 13 July 2026
Requisition ID: 400052783

We’d all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That’s waiting for you at Sainsbury’s. Here, everything in our stores starts in Sainsbury’s Commercial. From product, proposition, packaging and price, to whether it meets our sustainability commitments or simply tastes great, our team is responsible for, all food, non- food and Clothing items available in Sainsbury’s stores, online and on demand. It’s an incredibly fast-paced environment. People here are in it together and aren’t afraid to take risks. The knowledge and experience you gain here could set you up for career moves anywhere else in the business. So, if you’re passionate about your products and just as hungry to learn, you’ll fit in perfectly.

Assistant Designer - Womenswear

Joining Sainsbury’s as an Assistant Designer within Womenswear is a great opportunity to work with a trusted brand that values strong design, quality, and innovation. This role sits within the Womenswear Design team and prior experience in womenswear is essential.

As part of the team, you’ll support the delivery of inspirational, commercially driven designs that align with the category vision and ambition. Working closely with Designers, suppliers, and cross‑functional partners, you’ll help create original and exclusive product, using your strong design software skills and organisation to drive newness across the range.

This role is ideal for creative, detail‑driven designers with a solid understanding of the womenswear product, fit, fabrications, and trends, contributing to fashion‑forward ranges that balance style, quality, and value.

What you’ll do

As an Assistant Designer at Tu, you’ll play a key role in supporting the delivery of seasonal and trend‑led designs within Womenswear. Working closely with Designers and Senior Designers, you’ll build strong relationships with suppliers and their design teams to help create original and exclusive womenswear products.

You’ll support the development of key seasonal styles and help introduce newness across the range. Strong proficiency in Photoshop and Illustrator is essential, as you’ll contribute to creating product briefs and design packs independently when required. You’ll help deliver innovative, commercially viable designs that meet the needs of a diverse Womenswear customer.

As a confident communicator, you’ll represent the design team with key stakeholders, manage your workload effectively, and work to critical path deadlines. Your creativity, attention to detail, and understanding Womenswear trends and market dynamics will support the delivery of the overall design strategy, while embedding sustainability principles throughout your work.

Who you are

You’re a creative and detail‑oriented Assistant Designer with a genuine passion for Womenswear, supported by previous experience in clothing design. You thrive in a collaborative environment and enjoy working closely with Designers, Senior Designers, and suppliers to deliver original and exclusive product.

You’re confident using Photoshop and Illustrator to create and amend product briefs and communicate clearly and professionally with stakeholders across the business. With strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks to deadline, you support the delivery of key seasonal styles, maintain material and swatch libraries, and contribute to ongoing sustainability initiatives.

You’re a proactive team player who enjoys working in a fast‑paced, flexible environment and is motivated by continuous learning and development.

Essential criteria

Previous experience in Womenswear design
Fashion Design or Textiles degree
Strong Adobe Suite expertise (Photoshop & Illustrator)
Ability to communicate clearly across functions and with suppliers
Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills
Strong time management with the ability to manage multiple deadlines
Collaborative team player, working closely with Design, Buying, Merchandising, Suppliers, and Marketing

You’ll split your time between home and the Ansty Store Support Centre (Coventry), with a minimum of 2–3 days per week on site depending on collaboration and business needs.

Please include examples from your portfolio when applying.

#Commercial

We are committed to being a truly inclusive retailer so you’ll be welcomed whoever you are and wherever you work. Around here, there’s always the chance to try something new — whether that’s as part of an evolving team or somewhere else across the business - and we take development seriously and promise to support you. We also recognise and celebrate colleagues when they go the extra mile and, where possible, offer flexible working. When you join our team, we’ll also offer you an amazing range of benefits. Here are some of them:

Starting off with colleague discount, you'll be able to save 10% on your shopping online and instore at Sainsbury's, Argos, TU and Habitat, and we regularly increase the discount to 15% at points during the year. We've also got you covered for your future with our pensions scheme and life cover. You'll also be able to share in our success as you may be eligible for a performance-related bonus of up to 5% of salary, depending on how we perform.

Your wellbeing is important to us too. You'll receive an annual holiday allowance and you can buy up to an additional week's holiday. We also offer other benefits that will help your money go further such as season ticket loans, cycle to work scheme, health cash plans, salary advance (where you can access some of your pay before pay day) as well access to a great range of discounts from hundreds of other retailers. And if you ever need it there is also an employee assistance programme.

Moments that matter are as important to us as they are to you which is why we give up to 26 weeks’ pay for maternity or adoption leave and up to 4 weeks’ pay for paternity leave.

Please see www.sainsburys.jobs for a range of our benefits (note, length of service and eligibility criteria may apply).
