We're Hiring: Shop Assistant Wanted at Worthing Watersports

We've spent the last stretch getting the shop exactly how we wanted it — new layout, new fit-out, more room to actually show people gear properly instead of squeezing past a rail of wetsuits to reach a board. It's finished. It looks good. And now we need another pair of hands on the floor.

That standard is hard to hold when the team is stretched. Summer is relentless on this coast, and we'd rather add someone now than let the service slip. So we're hiring.

We'd rather bring someone in early than let the standard drop. Good advice is the whole point of a local shop.

The role: Shop Assistant

Small team, varied days. No two look the same, but you'd be:

  • Advising and selling to customers, in store and online
  • Taking deliveries and helping keep stock straight
  • Answering enquiries by phone and email
  • Keeping the shop clean, tidy and looking like somewhere people want to spend time

If you know your way around a kite, a wing, a board or a sail — and you'd rather be talking gear with someone than reading about it — this is your kind of job.

Who we're after

What Detail
Location Local to Worthing ideally — easier for shifts, and you'll actually know the breaks people are asking about
Water time Active user, genuinely into it. First-hand knowledge is the job
Kite or wing A big bonus right now — not essential
You are Organised, with a sharp eye for detail
Hours Part-time and flexible — could be 2 days one week, 3 or 4 the next, depending on how busy we are. If it works well for both of us there's room for that to grow
Pay Based on experience and availability — we'll talk it through properly once we've met
Fair warning

You will spend the windiest day of the year indoors, surrounded by kit you want, explaining wetsuit sizing to someone who is definitely going to buy it in the wrong size anyway. Upside: staff discount, gear chat all day, and colleagues who always know exactly where it's working.

Fancy joining us?

Fill in the short application form below. If we think you could be a fit, we'll be in touch to grab a coffee (or a beer) and talk it through properly. We read every single application — we're just busy at the moment, so bear with us if it takes a moment to come back to you.
