Looking For Someone To Join Our Team

We are still looking for someone to join our team on a part time basis about 16 hours a week, though this is likely to expand over time and there is always more work available towards the end of the year.

We are looking for someone who has the following skills:

* The ability to work under direction as well as on their own.
* Enthusiasm to learn about tea
* You need to be numerate and literate
* You cannot be a smoker (tea is sensitive)
* You need to be able to manoeuvre large and boxes, both for teas being despatched and for taking deliveries.
* You need to recognise the importance of customer service and have attention to detail
* Someone who can grow with us

What we will offer you:

* An interesting and unusual job
* Flexible working hours
* Twenty days paid holiday (pro rata to hours worked) plus Bank Holidays (please note that we close during the Christmas / New Year period, and during August. So some of your holiday entitlement will be taken then)
* Tea!

We are a family friendly business.

Starting pay would be £6.40ph during the initial trial period.
