You will be a key point of contact for customers requiring support with our products and will ensure enquiries and issues are handled efficiently and professionally. While previous experience with barbecues or similar technical products would be beneficial, we are equally interested in candidates who have a strong technical aptitude, a genuine interest in how products work and a willingness to learn our product range in detail.

The role will also provide support to the wider sales office and field sales team when required. You will work closely with colleagues across customer service, sales and the warehouse to ensure a high level of customer service and smooth day-to-day operations.

• Pick, pack and dispatch spare parts and direct customer orders via courier services.
• Liaise with the warehouse regarding stock availability, fulfilment and inventory.
• Maintain accurate customer, order and warranty records.
• Keep up to date with new products, models and technical information.
• Support retailers, the field sales team and wider sales office during busy periods and staff absence.
• Assist with general administration, stock control, trade shows and events as required.
• Support the warehouse with stock handling and order picking when required.
• Ensure the showroom, reception and office areas are clean and tidy.

About you:

• Previous experience in customer service, administration, sales support or a similar customer-facing role.
• Strong customer service and communication skills, with a practical and solutions-focused approach.
• Good problem-solving skills and the ability to explain technical information clearly to consumers.
• A genuine interest in products and how they work, with the ability and enthusiasm to develop strong technical product knowledge.
• Confident interpreting product information, diagrams, specifications and spare-parts information.
• Excellent knowledge of MS Office required, and Sage Accounts 50 experience would be a plus.
• Well organized, accurate and comfortable managing several tasks at once.
• Positive attitude and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• Ability to manage physical tasks such as picking, packing and managing stock.
• Flexible and willing to support different areas of a small, busy team.
• Possess a valid, clean driver's license and have own transport.

We offer:

• Permanent, full-time position (37.5 hours per week).
• Salary up to £26,000, depending on experience.
