Dis-Chem Pharmacies has a contract opportunity for a Gift Wrapper to join its team in De Wiekus, Gauteng, with applications closing on 4 November 2026. If you have a matric, a careful eye for detail and a friendly manner with customers, this short-term festive-season style role could be a good fit.
About the company and the work
Dis-Chem Pharmacies is one of South Africa’s leading pharmacy and health retail groups, with stores across the country. In this role you will wrap and decorate customers’ purchases with gift-wrapping paper, ribbons, bows and tape after purchase, adding a finishing touch that makes their gifts feel special. This is a contract role in the general and retail sectors, based at the De Wiekus store.
Role details and duties
Your gift-wrapping work will include assisting customers in selecting appropriate wrapping materials, wrapping each package in a professional manner and in accordance with specified guidelines, removing price tags from packaged products and including gift receipts in the wrapping, and clearly organising and storing wrapped packages in the gift-wrap holding area as assigned. You will also perform other duties as requested. On the customer service side, you will provide friendly, helpful and courteous assistance to all customers, greet customers and determine their needs and wants, deal with all customer queries and resolve them within a reasonable time, wear the correct uniform and name badge at all times, and report bad and suspicious behaviour by staff and customers to management.
Requirements
The only stated qualification is a Grade 12 / Matric or Senior Certificate. The advert asks for attention to detail and basic customer service skills. Special conditions of employment are South African citizenship and a clear MIE, criminal and credit record. The advert lists remuneration as a stipend rather than a fixed salary, so confirm the amount in the original advert. Only successful applicants will be contacted, and if you have not been contacted within two weeks after the closing date, consider your application unsuccessful.
Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy is advertised on Careers24 by Dis-Chem Pharmacies Limited, and the Apply button on this page takes you directly to the original advert. Apply only through that original listing, and be wary of anyone asking you to pay a fee to secure a job, as legitimate employers do not charge jobseekers for applications.
Practical tips
Show your attention to detail by describing any work where neatness and presentation mattered, such as retail, packing or craft work. Emphasise your friendly, helpful approach with customers, and be ready to work to the store’s wrapping guidelines and uniform standards. Since the advert lists a stipend rather than a salary, check the original advert for the exact amount before you apply.
