Bookseller & social media + Events Coordinator Battersea Bookshop

Are you energized by people, culture, and new ideas?

Do you get a buzz from walking into a room full of strangers and making it your own?

We’re looking for someone confident, curious, and creatively driven to join Battersea Bookshop as a Bookseller & Brand Voice Assistant — a hybrid role combining social media, cultural events, and customer experience.

This isn’t just about selling books (though you’ll do that too). It’s about shaping how our shop is seen, felt, and remembered — both in-person and online.

• Plan and create engaging content for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and X (Twitter)
• Spotlight new books, events, staff picks, behind-the-scenes moments, and shop life
• Create reels, stories, and posts that capture our tone: warm, smart, and culturally aware
• Collaborate with the team to shape digital strategy and track engagement
  
  

25% Events & Brand Presence

• Attend and support in-store and off-site events
• Meet and liaise with authors, publishers, publicists, and cultural partners
• Capture real-time content and guest impressions to post or archive
• Be a welcoming, energetic presence at all events — someone who thrives in social settings
  
  

50% Sales Advising

• Offer excellent customer service and a warm, bookish welcome
• Help maintain displays and visual standards across the floor
• Work collaboratively with the team to keep things running smoothly
  
  

You Might Be a Great Fit If You:

• Are confident, extroverted, and love meeting new people
• Thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments
• Are naturally creative and love telling stories — visually, verbally, digitally
• Feel comfortable jumping into a conversation, a challenge, or a new idea
• Have experience with Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and X (Twitter)
• Have worked events, retail, hospitality, or any high-energy setting
  
  

Schedule

• 4–5 days per week
• Includes some evenings and weekends
  
  

How To Apply

Please send a short CV and a cover letter telling us why this role feels like the right fit for you.
