The successful individual will have good written and spoken English, personal organisation, planning and time management. Excellent communication skills and working well under pressure will be essential. Reliability, influence and personal effectiveness are also necessary.

The individual will also have a passion for understanding customers and their needs and be able to leverage this understanding by concisely summarising problems and support this with practical solutions and recommendations in line with company processes and values.

Our Group
Founded in 2002, World of Books is a circular economy, for profit company that supports charities and protects the planet by enabling more goods to be reused. We are pioneers in the re-use and recycling of unwanted books, recycling about 80 million books each year, equivalent to around half a million trees.

For those books we cannot sell, we ensure they are recycled and turned into products such as newspaper, cardboard packaging and tissue products.

Established in 2013, to buy unwanted books, CD’s DVD’s, Blu-ray and console games directly from consumers via its market leading app. The smart technology enables consumers to use their mobile device to scan a product bar code or to simply tap in an ISBN code from a book for an instant valuation.

Ziffit sells all its books, CDs, DVDs and games via World of Books own website or partner websites such as Amazon and eBay.

World of Rare Books
Sells books published prior to 1970 (including rare, vintage and 1st edition titles) alongside vinyl and other ephemera through our own websites and other marketplaces. This business offers one of the largest selections of pre-ISBN books in the market and is the largest supplier of wholesale vintage books for decoration in Europe.

Our Technology
Our success is underpinned by our technology. We have developed bespoke software solutions to tackle changing market conditions and pricing. Our technology manages our warehouse, streams our stock and extends our reach to over 20 global marketplaces.
