Inputting current work - unclear end date

Hi,
I am currently trying to put in my current employment but UCAS won't let me input that it's ongoing. Should I just leave it out or input a future date that I would theoretically be leaving it if I got into a university (say Summertime)?

It's not a particularly impressive job - just a part time supermarket thing, but I would like to show that I have been doing stuff and not just sat at home. I plan on mentioning my volunteering in my personal statement which I do alongside it but I am worried that whoever sees the application will only notice that I left my previous job and assume it was due to a personal fault and move on without considering my statement and volunteer work. I understand how silly that sounds.

I know I am being overly worried but I can't shake this stupid idea. Can someone please let me know what is recommended in this case? Do people looking over apps even consider employment very much?
Just input your expected end date if you do join the course.
