2-3 X SHOP ADVISORS NEEDED FOR EARLY NOVEMBER START - LOCATION BLUE DIAMOND GARDEN CENTRE HEREFORD. MULTI AWARD-WINNING RETAILER.
Jardinopia is a rapidly growing privately owned multi-award winning designer and manufacturer of home and garden gift products, headquartered in Ross on Wye, and with operations in Virginia USA and Jodhpur India. We also have a shop in Ledbury HR8 1BT.
We sell our products directly to Trade (to companies like Next, Waitrose and Kew Gardens), to Distributors & Wholesalers overseas, at Consumer Shows (such as RHS Chelsea Flower Show and BBC Gardener's World Live), as well as through e-Commerce sites and 3rd party marketplaces. We have now very successfully launched our chain of bricks and mortar destination shops - with Ledbury being the first in April 2023. We are looking to create 10-20 such unique and individual shops throughout the UK within independent store focussed market towns and also Garden Centre Franchises. Hereford will be our second!
We are now seeking 2-3 Shop Assistants/Advisors to work together on a rota basis doing part time hours from our new store located within Blue Diamond Garden Centre Hereford. We would also be happy to look at a mix of Full-Time & Part Time employees for the right candidates. The role involves the general sales and management of the shop, as well as merchandising and stock replenishment. An ideal candidate will have proven shop assistant or shop management experience, are able to operate independently and confidently, and have a background in garden & or/home products. You will be great at working with customers, helping them to select, advising them & generally making our store a wonderful place to visit. You may well work in a garden centre or retail shop already!
However, the most important things for us when searching for new Jardinopia team members are reliability, honesty, a passion for the role and products, and the desire and ability to quickly learn on the job. This position is for those looking for Part Time Shop Assistant roles, although we are happy to look at a mix of Full & Part Time Staff for this site. We would anticipate hours amounting to 20-40 a week per person, with some weekend work required on a rota basis. We will be open whenever Blue Diamond Garden Centre Hereford is, which is Monday-Saturday 09:00-17:30, Sunday 10:00-16:30. They close on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Day & Easter Sunday.
You will be expected to quickly understand & support the implementation and the daily running of the shop and continuously look for ways to improve the merchandising, layouts, sales and general shop processes. You should be well-organized, punctual, adept at using pricing and labeling equipment, demonstrate effective communication skills and achieve exceptional customer service at all times. Duties may include: opening and closing the shop; receiving, processing, and organizing shipments and deliveries; restocking; ensuring that the shop is clean, neat & well merchandised throughout the day; assist customers in locating products, suggesting gifts and upselling where possible; informing customers of shop promotions to encourage purchases; perform regular inventory counts; keep the shop and stock safe; identify and correct price discrepancies; perform end-of-day cleaning and closing duties; addressing and resolving customers returns and complaints; processing customer payments; maintaining an in-depth knowledge of stocked items and to provide advice and recommendations as needed. Merchandising and managing inventory will be key to ensuring the shop is adequately stocked, clean, visually appealing and remains a 'destination shop' at all times.
In exchange for your dedication, hard work and contribution towards establishing and maintaining a 'must visit' destination shop, we are offering a market leading salary with additional benefits, and an exceptionally rare opportunity to join this award-winning team, with the opportunity to advance within the overall Jardinopia company should you wish. We are happy to look at flexible working models & hours to suit other commitments.
If this all sounds like you - and you can demonstrate experience operating successfully in a similar environment, then we want to hear from you straight away.
