Retail Assistant (Part-Time)

Would you like to work at Just Dogs?

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, dog loving individual to join our small friendly team, working on Saturdays in our specialist shop.

We are a small independent dog retail business in the heart of Stockbridge, one of Edinburgh's most unique communities. Customer service for our two and four legged customers is extremely important to us, so you must enjoy interacting with people as well as dogs. You should have a friendly, cheery disposition and be eager to help our varied customer base with anything they need, in person or by phone. The successful applicant will have retail experience and must be passionate about dogs. Training will be provided but a basic knowledge of positive training techniques and dog products would be advantageous.

Our new team member will have the ability to work in a fast paced environment during our busiest days of the week. Our weekend staff work on a rotation between Saturday (09:30 - 17:00) and Sunday (11:30 - 16:30) which you can join or, if preferable pick either of these days to work. You should also have some weekday availability for initial training.

Flexibility to help out on other shifts is a requirement, particularly during busy months in November and December. For the right candidate, additional weekday hours could be made available. We are looking for someone who can hit the ground running and can start as soon as possible.

Positions at the shop are always very popular so if you can, a short cover letter should accompany your CV.

You must be over 18 to be considered for this role.
