Retail Assistant
(Wine Jobs:
Wine Retail & Sommelier)
Part Time
Eden Mill
St Andrews,
England
The Retail department run our tours, shops, and events. They're our Storytellers – they take our guests on a journey. As a Retail Assistant (Part-Time), you'll be part of the central team running our award-winning distillery and brewery tour experiences.
Our Retail Assistants host our beer, whisky, and gin tour experiences. You take groups of guests on a journey (metaphorical and actual) through Eden Mill, and make our direct-to-public sales.
-
Welcoming guests to your base site, answering questions about our products, and taking sales
-
Guide our daily tours (10–20 people each) to provide an interesting, immersive, knowledgeable tour of our site and an introduction to our products
-
Troubleshooting emergencies and liaising with other departments
-
Working off-site at pop-ups
What sort of hours will I work?
You’ll work 1 or 2 days out of 7 (around 8–17 hours a week). Weekends are among our busiest days, so availability on Saturday and Sunday is required. For legal reasons, you must be aged 18+ to work in this role.
What qualifications do I need?
None over a good basic education (fluency in English, normal arithmetic abilities, and normal ICT abilities). Multiple languages or experience in a previous visitor engagement or public-facing role would be a bonus. But more important is your confidence, ability to learn, and work ethic. We'd also love if you have a full driving licence and a vehicle.
You'll be in the public eye (taking tours) and occasionally have to deal with guest difficulties, so the one thing you can't be is shy. However, if you like people and have a flair for communication and initiative, you'll make a great addition to the team.
What sort of salary can I expect?
You'll join at an equal rate to your colleagues, on £7.45 per hour; a departmental pay review is due later in Summer 2017.
Where can I go from here?
If you've got what it takes, we have a variety of other roles within Eden Mill, and we advertise all vacancies internally where possible. We also support you with further training and qualifications relevant to your role.
