Title: Saturday 5 hour Vacancy
Part Time
Hours Per Week: 5
Description: Join Our Team at Accessorize! We’re looking for a friendly, enthusiastic team member to join us for 5 hours every Saturday. We’re looking for someone who is hardworking, confident, eager to learn, and enjoys taking on new challenges. As part of our team, you’ll receive full training to become a qualified ear piercer, so you must be happy and willing to carry out ear piercing as part of the role.
Ideally, we’re looking for someone with previous retail experience who would be interested in developing within the business. There may be opportunities to become a key holder, support the store during holiday cover, and work additional hours, including Sundays, when needed. As retail is busiest during peak trading periods, you must be available to work Boxing Day, which falls on the weekend this year.
We’re looking for someone who lives locally and is looking for a longer-term opportunity, rather than someone who will be away for extended periods during the summer or Christmas holidays. We’re a busy store with a friendly, supportive team, and we’d love to meet people who are excited about being part of it. If this sounds like the role for you, please pop into store with your CV and have a chat with our team about what you’re looking for. We look forward to meeting you!
