Introduction:
Little Peas Pram and Car Seat Centre in Dunfermline are looking for someone to join our team who has an interest in the Car Seat and Pram Industry and wants to help us grow as we expand our offering of baby products, in store and online. We’re a very friendly, close team and are looking for someone to join us in a role, predominantly on our shop floor.
About the Role:
The role will primarily be focussed in our child car seat sales area, working directly with customers to ascertain their needs, with a view to selling them a car seat to meet those needs. While the immediate and primary focus of this role will be in car seats, we would anticipate that any successful candidate could find themself manoeuvring around the store to meet customer and store needs (in pram and accessories, etc). Because we're a 'small business', every member of our team covers almost every aspect of our business's day-to-day running, from welcoming customers, to taking calls or receiving deliveries etc. We have an extremely positive and non-aggressive sales approach, with absolute focus on the customer experience and service, and as a result, the store is an extremely positive environment to work in.
Due to the nature of our products, and bearing in mind that we do receive deliveries as well as dispatch boxes daily, we do need a person that is physically capable to lift and carry these items where necessary.
Working Hours:
Weekends are definitely our busiest time, and while we have a level of flexibility in the number of days / hours available, we do need someone that is able to work most weekends, within their hours. This role will require a minimum of one day per week to be worked at the weekend, and an additional 1-3 days to be within the 7-day week. We are happy to be flexible for the right candidate, though it's essential that we add support to the store at the weekend, though can cater the role to accommodate somebody that's looking for 2-4 days per week. Our working hours are 10am til 5pm from Monday to Saturday and 12pm til 5pm on Sunday.
Our Ideal Candidate:
Our ideal candidate would have an interest, or some level of understanding of baby products (in particular, car seats), with a view to truly learning and understanding these in a great amount of detail. We will provide full and ongoing training in store, as well as from our many suppliers, and will support you fully as long as you need while you gain confidence in these areas.
When we advertise on this type of platform, we can receive several hundred applications, many of which are simply applying for every single job that is posted. To help us identify those that are 'truly interested', we'd appreciate a short cover letter tailored to our position to confirm your interest in the position. It will help your application stand out.
