Vacancy: Assistant to the Small Press Buyer

It's hiring time again! 

We are searching for an Assistant to the Small Press Buyer, a customer-facing role that needs a good mix of people skills, a head for numbers, an attention to detail, and common sense. You'll also need to be able to remain resilient under pressure, as the store can get extremely busy. Applicants should demonstrate an excellent knowledge of the comics medium, particularly the small press scene, and an eager willingness to learn more. Experience in bookselling is a definite plus, as the role will involve delivery processing and ordering responsibilities.

With a 40-year track record in the industry, we at Gosh! pride ourselves on being a must-visit destination. We believe in the power and versatility of comics as a medium, and our small, dedicated team strive to bring the medium to devoted fans and curious newcomers alike.

The position is full-time and permanent and will pay London Living Wage. We would ideally like a successful applicant to start no later than early-mid September, though we would of course expect you serve out your full notice period in any existing employment. The position will call for weekend work days and occasional late event shifts.

If you’re interested, please send us your CV along with a cover letter to introduce yourself and explain a little about why you’d like to work with us and what makes you suitable for the position. The cover letter is very important for making a first impression, so please give it some thought. All applications should be made via email to info@goshlondon.com, and please be sure to include your name in the subject line. Please do not attempt to send applications or expressions of interest via social media channels, as these will be ignored.

Applications are open until 10th August 2026.

Good luck!
