Full-Time Bookseller Brighton, England
Job description
Company description
Goldsboro Books is looking for a talented and driven individual to join our Brighton team as a weekend bookseller. You will be one of the first points of contact for both customers and authors visiting the shop and will be a key team member.
Previous experience is not necessary (though is of course, a plus), but a demonstrable passion for books - across multiple genres - certainly is.
You will be fully trained on our systems and will play an active role in all aspects of the company, from dealing with customers queries, admin, looking after authors, social media, helping keep our website up to date, moving stock to reserving / processing orders.
We are a small but deeply passionate team and the right candidate will be able to demonstrate a strong knowledge of, and love for, the books that are currently on the market. You will need to be highly organised, have great communication skills and able to prioritise workloads efficiently.
Good computer skills and a keen eye for detail are essential - as is a good sense of humour!
