Friendly design and enthusiastic assistant needed for our beautiful design shop in the Oxo Tower, overlooking the Thames.
We are looking for a friendly & enthusiastic person to help in our beautiful shop in the Oxo Tower from now until December. The shop which faces the river Thames on the Southbank, showcases our own designs and also our curated selection of wonderfully designed gifts & products by other UK designer makers such as jewellery, prints and stationery.
There's no such thing as an average day in the shop.... it can involve sales, admin and design so it's a bit of a mixed bag When it's quiet in the shop you'll be required to help us with things like day to day admin, maintaining our website, social media, window display, etc. It's variable!
It's part time and we ideally need you initially for 2 days per week in August (including at least one weekend day per week.) In September we need you 4 days per week with occasional extra days available when we're doing fairs and events.
You will be expected to:
Open & close the shop
Keep the shop looking wonderful at all times
Welcome and engage with our customers
Restock the shelves
Receive deliveries & help us keep tabs on the inventory
Handle payments
Help us with displays and with fairs and events
Update the website
Help us with social media and marketing
