Supervisor - Chelsea

 

Happiness has many forms and new stationery is one of them.

We are looking for a Supervisor to join us at our flagship store in Chelsea and/or concession store at King's Cross.

We're looking for a super Supervisor to support our management team with the running of our store and leading the team. A day in the shop involves all sorts. This could include talking to customers, sharing product knowledge, taking photos or creating stories for Instagram, demonstrating products, selling products, stock checking, processing deliveries of stationery (the best bit), restocking, cleaning, tidying, visual merchandising, answering the phone, wrapping orders, handwriting notes, tracking deliveries.

It's varied, fast paced and fun! We’re a bunch of very friendly, knowledgeable, passionate people, all with an outside interest in creation of some kind, from knitting to illustration to weaving. Everyone brings great chat to the shop floor because they’re genuinely excited about creativity and probably a little bit obsessed with stationery. We love organisation and we keep our store immaculate. If this sounds like you then join our club.

Hours and salary
We have part-time contracts available from 15-37.5 hours per week. Pay is £10.25 per hour.
