Retail Salesperson New Plymouth (Part Time)

• Join an amazing team with a great culture
• Competitive hourly rate
• Wide range of career and personal development opportunities

Love talking farm? Looking for part-time work where you can put your rural know - how to good use?

We're looking for a Retail Salesperson to join our New Plymouth team for 20 hours per week minimum. The usual weekday hours are 10 am–2 pm, Monday to Friday, and you’ll also need to be available for rostered weekend shifts.

Mō te whai waahi | About the opportunity

On any given day, you might help a farmer get sorted for lambing, talk fencing supplies with someone on their first lifestyle block, or carry a bag of dog food out to a customer’s ute. We’re looking for someone who enjoys a good yarn, asks a few questions to understand what the customer needs and follows through. If you don’t know the answer, you’ll find out and get back to them.

You'll also help the store run smoothly by:

• Helping shareholder and customers choose products for sheep, beef and other dry stock, as well as general farm and lifestyle block supplies.
• Putting sales through the till ordering stock and receipting deliveries.
• Keeping shelves stocked, prices visible and displays tidy.
• Lending a hand wherever it's needed, whether there's a queue at the counter or stock to put away.

Mōhou ake | About you

Maybe you’ve worked on a farm, run a lifestyle block or spent time behind a rural retail counter. We’d love to hear what you’ve learnt along the way. You’ll be just as comfortable talking with someone who’s farmed all their life as you are helping someone work out what they need for their first few sheep.

Retail or customer service experience is handy, especially in a busy store. If you know farming, enjoy helping people and are willing to learn, we can teach you the retail side. You’ll need basic computer skills and the ability to regularly lift and carry stock weighing up to 25 kg, including bags of feed and dog food.

A forklift licence or current first aid certificate would be a bonus.

You'll be rewarded with:

• Sick leave from Day 1
• Paid birthday leave
• Access to training through our online library, The Greenhouse
• Staff discounts at Farmlands Retail Stores
• Exclusive Farmlands shareholding offer providing access to a vast array of discounts with our Card Partners
• Additional support for parents
