Customer Advisor

**What we expect from you**

Each JoJo store is unique whether that’s trading over two floors, having a quirky layout or being situated in an interesting place. They have a life of their own. Our Unique Selling Point (USP) in this ever-changing retail world is the relationship we build with our customers, many of them loyal to our brand and to their local store team. This is where you come in - you’ll be the face of JoJo providing a fantastic level of customer care and service that we are renowned for and one we pride ourselves in upholding always. You’ll be guiding, informing, and assisting our customers in the correct purchase of our huge range of clothing and products. This could be an expectant parent, an excited grandparent or other friends or family.

Our B Corp principles are so important, and every member of our teams will always uphold them. As we move into a digital retail world, offering an Omni-Channel customer service is expected as this builds on customer loyalty. As such most of our stores offer Ship from Store or Click and Collect options, you will take ownership of preparing and shipping all such orders daily.

- The ability to learn and retain a high level of product information and be able to communicate this effectively to our customers.
- You’ll need a self-develop mentality and a curiosity to learn new product independently.
- We don’t like hard sales techniques, but you’ll need to demonstrate a level of sales ability, which includes active listening skills, empathy, and an understanding of our customers’ needs.
- You’ll be working within a small team; therefore, the ability to work in a harmonious and respectful manner is important.
- Working in a retail environment requires a level of flexibility, most of our stores are open 7 days a week.
