Contract Type: Permanent
Working hours: Flexible hours, including weekends and evenings.

As a Luxury Bookseller, you will deliver outstanding customer service and work autonomously or collaboratively to uphold our exceptional store standards. We aim for you, our patrons, and our team members to take pride in the experiences we create together.

Responsibilities of a Luxury Bookseller:
You will enhance our customers' experience in our premium bookshop, ensuring it is memorable. Whether they are in a hurry or have time to explore, you will guarantee they find the luxury item they desire. You should be knowledgeable about a diverse array of genres, from thrillers to science fiction, children's literature to non-fiction. Our customers are central to our mission, so for our Booksellers, no effort is too great. This means proactively engaging with customers and fostering strong relationships through your enthusiasm for literature, as well as sharing information about our exceptional offers. Some of the titles you will handle can be valued significantly, so you must ensure they are displayed appropriately. Every task you undertake must meet the highest standards to ensure our customers leave eager to return. Your focus will include:

Providing an outstanding level of customer service to all patrons. Actively welcoming and engaging with all customers.

Collaborating with team members and supporting colleagues. Nurturing positive working relationships with landlords and other departments. Ideal Candidate Profile:
As a Luxury Bookseller, you should possess a natural talent for promoting our products and the confidence to make excellent recommendations, presenting our titles attractively. Experience in a retail book environment is highly desirable for this position. Most importantly, we seek individuals who are genuinely passionate about literature, excellent listeners, confident in sales, and possess a strong sense of ambition. With the support of your team, we will equip you with the skills necessary for success. For those aspiring to advance, we will actively encourage your growth. As a Bookseller, the path to becoming a future Store Manager or working in one of our Support Centres is open to you.

Desired Attributes: A commitment to providing customers with an exceptional in-store experience. Confidence in communication with both team members and customers. Motivation to achieve outstanding results and maintain high standards. Flexibility to adapt to company objectives and goals.

Employee Benefits:
We recognize your hard work in contributing to WHSmith's success and ensuring customer satisfaction. In addition to your salary, pension scheme, paid annual leave, and employee discounts, we offer a variety of deals from retail partners to help you save money and create lasting memories, whether through dining experiences, exciting outings, or entertainment options.
Regardless of what the future holds, our Employee Assistance Programme is available to support your well-being, whether physical, mental, or financial.

About WHSmith:
WHSmith boasts a rich heritage and is expanding, particularly in airports, hospitals, rail stations, and motorway services. Our mission is straightforward: to provide our products to everyone on their journeys through life.
For many years, books have been integral to WHSmith's history. We have witnessed the contributions of literary giants and continue to be inspired by contemporary authors. We have established strong partnerships with brands like Selfridges. As we progress, our goal remains clear: to enhance every journey in life.
WHSmith is proud to be an inclusive employer, committed to creating a welcoming environment where our colleagues can be themselves.
