You welcome customers in a cheerful and helpful way by saying hello, answering questions, and consistently going out of your way to connect readers with the right titles and products. Equally, you are an essential part of the bookstore team in maintaining the attractive presentation of the store and in ensuring its efficient running. You help unpack and shelve deliveries and tidy our displays. You work our registers in a quick and friendly manner, ensuring our customers receive a highly professional service. You'll make a great Bookseller if you have good "behaviors." Expect your colleagues to demonstrate these behaviors and to hold you, and themselves, to high standards, and for your Store Managers to reinforce our expectations. These behaviors collectively demonstrate that you :

  • Fill scheduling gaps when you are able, being flexible and responsive to the needs of the store we are open from early mornings to late evenings every day, including weekends and most holidays.
