Vacancy: Bookseller

An exciting opportunity has arisen at B. T. Batsford for a bookseller at our Hackney Road shop and gallery for a 6-month fixed term, starting at the end of October 2024.

Pay: £12 per hour
Hours: Saturdays and Sundays 10.30am – 6pm

Job Description: As a bookseller at B.T. Batsford you will be an important member of a small team at our shop and gallery space on Hackney Road, E3. You will be customers’ first point of contact and will help them choose the perfect book, gift or card. You will work with our shop and gallery managers to oversee our events programme.

You will have training to work on a till, processing delivery, shelving books and keeping the space (including the stockroom) neat and tidy. As our shop is so small, you will mostly be working on the floor alone.

Previous retail experience is a bonus but is not necessary. What is more important is a passion for books and outstanding customer service.

This will be a 2 days per week role.

If you’re interested in this exciting opportunity, please send your CV and a covering letter to jobs@batsfordbooks.com by 30 September 2024.
