We're Hiring! - Retail Assistant Vacancy July 2023

It's that time again! Camille is moving on after 4 years here at Gosh, and it's time to get the vacancy ball rolling once more.

We're currently looking for a retail assistant to join our small, committed team. Applications are open now and will close at 12pm on Friday the 9th August, 2023. Interested applicants should send an email titled with your name and the words “Retail Assistant Application” to info@goshlondon.com and should include a CV and cover letter. Your cover letter should tell us a little about yourself and why you think you would be suitable for the position. Please do not attempt to apply through any other means of messaging, including social media. Only applications meeting the above requirements will be considered.

The successful applicant will have a varied role encompassing many aspects of the store and its processes, including administrative tasks, inventory management, mail order processing, events promotion and customer service. Precise duties will depend upon the skills and enthusiasms of the successful applicant. The position is full-time (37.5 hours/week) and permanent, and salary will be pegged to the London Living Wage. Weekend working hours will be expected.

For this position we are seeking someone with great organisational skills who is self-motivated and dedicated to providing excellent customer service. IT literacy is essential, and good levels of literacy and numeracy are also needed, as correspondence and data management tasks will be required. Experience in busy comic or book selling environments would be an advantage. While not essential, we would also look favourably on experience with social media, mail order processing and/or back issue handling. And of course a love and knowledge of the comics medium will be needed, the broader the better!

With a 37-year track record in the industry and enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff, Gosh! Comics remains London’s must-visit store for those who love the medium. Our range of comics is second to none, and we’re always striving to source new and interesting product, whatever the genre. We pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service and an enjoyable shopping experience.

If that sounds like somewhere you’d like to work, drop us a line! As mentioned previously send an email titled with your name and the words “Retail Assistant Application” to info@goshlondon.com and include a CV and cover letter. Your cover letter should tell us a little about yourself and why you think you would be suitable for the position (pro tip: don't skimp on the cover letter!) Please do not attempt to apply through any other means of messaging, including social media. After the application deadline we will begin the process of shortlisting for interview.

Good luck, and hope to see one of you soon!
