We’re not your typical self-storage company and we’re not looking for a typical part-timer.
At McCarthy’s Storage World, we do things differently: more heart, more hustle, and a lot more personality.
We’re a family-run business with decades of experience, and we’re looking for a Permanent Part-Time Sales Advisor to help keep our store running smoothly, keep customers happy, and help us keep filling rooms. You must be 18 or over to apply for this role.
This is a hands-on role and even though it’s part-time, it’s still a proper job with real responsibility. Some days you’ll be working alongside the team, and some days you’ll be trusted to run the site solo — so we need someone confident, capable, and friendly who can crack on.
If you’re the sort of person who can chat to anyone, stay organised, and keep things tidy without being asked… you’ll fit right in.
Before you apply...
We're looking for someone who genuinely wants this job, not someone applying for dozens of vacancies with the same CV.
This is a permanent position and isn't suitable for summer work or applicants looking for short-term employment.
Please include a few sentences telling us why you'd like to work at McCarthy's Storage World and what makes you think you'd be a good fit. It doesn't need to be formal, but we do read every application and we'd like to hear from the person behind the CV.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Helping fill the store – turning enquiries into customers and keeping occupancy moving in the right direction.
- Handling customer enquiries by phone, email and face-to-face at the store.
- Welcoming customers with warmth, honesty and practical advice.
No pushy selling here — we just help people solve problems when they need storage.
- Doing viewings and helping customers choose the right room size (and yes, most people get it wrong first time).
- Managing bookings, payments, insurance and customer accounts using our internal systems and apps.
- Supporting with overdue payments and debt calls (nothing scary, just calm and professional follow-up).
- Keeping the store clean, tidy and presentable – including reception, corridors, toilets, and making sure the place looks sharp.
- Helping with day-to-day admin like emails, reports, paperwork, filing and basic problem-solving.
- Taking ownership of your shift – especially on sole-trading days where you’ll be trusted to run the site properly.
What We’re Looking For:
- A confident, friendly communicator – someone who can speak to customers like a human being.
- Reliable and organised – if you say you’ll do something, you do it.
- Comfortable working alone sometimes (you won’t be thrown in untrained, don’t worry).
- Tech-friendly – happy using booking systems, email, mobile apps, and WhatsApp Web.
- A practical, hands-on attitude – we all muck in here.
- Experience in self-storage is great, but not essential.
We also love people from retail, hospitality, customer service, lettings, call centres, trades admin, etc.
