Sales Assistant
*PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN A RETAIL ROLE IS ESSENTIAL*
Permanent/part-time
Location: On-site, Leicester City Centre
Salary: £8-12.50 per hour
The Role:
We have been operating in Leicester city centre for over 10 years. We were the first electronic cigarette shop to open in Leicester and have been continuously growing our brand presence ever since.
The ideal candidate will have to be hard working and have experience in displaying great levels of customer service. We pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service. Experience in the electronic cigarette industry is not necessary but will be a plus. Training will be provided.
Responsibilities will include becoming a key holder, managing the store and also fulfilling any online orders.
Initially, you will be working 16 hours a week spread across different shifts between 9am and 5:30pm Monday to Sunday (with a view to potentially increasing hours in time).
You will be expected to work additional hours for cover shifts as and when requested. We will always do our best to give you as much notice as possible when this does happen.
Your responsibilities will include activities such as the following:
* Opening and closing the shop (typically you will be running the shop on your own during your shift)
* Delivering outstanding sales results through a combination of strong customer service and upselling/cross-selling
* Answering customer queries
* Stock replenishment
We are looking for candidates to have some experience/attributes in the following key areas:
* Retail experience -- this is essential. Unfortunately we cannot consider anyone without any previous experience in a similar role as you will be working on your own, so we need someone who is able to hit the ground running
* Experience in electronic cigarettes/vaping would be an advantage but is not essential as training will be provided
Benefits:
* Performance bonus
* Employee discount
* Store discount
* 25 days’ holiday allowance per year pro rata (in addition to bank holidays)
* Casual dress code (wear whatever you feel comfortable in)
* Diverse, international workforce
* Relaxed, low-pressure environment; but with a keen focus on delivery and achieving success
* We are very open to new ideas, so please feel free to suggest/request anything that we can do in order to make you more likely to perform at your maximum, and we will certainly do our best to implement it if it makes sense for everyone
The Company:
We are a fast-growing start-up marketing business, with our key focus currently being on the vaping/nicotine alternatives market.
Our goal is to ensure our Bar Juice 5000 brand retains its position as the UK's fastest selling brand in its category and expand into new markets in Europe, while also creating/growing other high-performing brands in addition.
