Small, friendly team in a family-owned store

Regulars who’ll know you by name

Casual hours across Birkenhead and Devonport

We’ve been part of the North Shore since 1945. Three generations of local families have shopped with us, and most of our customers are our neighbours.

We’re looking for a Sales Assistant to join our small team across our stores in Birkenhead and Devonport (mainly Womenswear).

What you’ll do

• Welcome customers, and get to know our regulars, their names and what they like


• Help people find what they came in for, and the piece they didn’t know they were looking for


• Keep the store looking lovely, merchandising, displays and a fully stocked floor


• Run the till and the day-to-day admin that goes with it


• Unpack and receive new deliveries


• Know our labels well enough to talk about them with confidence

About you

• You’re friendly, patient and attentive. You notice when someone wants a hand, and when they’d rather browse.


• You love where you live and the people in it. North Shore locals will feel right at home.


• You have retail sales experience, and you’re comfortable helping someone decide.


• You enjoy fashion and have an eye for putting an outfit together.


• You communicate clearly and warmly, on the floor and at the counter.


• You’re comfortable with the basics: the till, a computer, a bit of light paperwork.


• You like a small team where everyone pitches in.

Hours

Casual, up to three days a week. We’re open 7 days, so that includes part of the weekend.
