Are you ready for an environment that is fast pace, busy, and sometimes highly pressured? If so this may be a role you would enjoy and find rewarding.

So let’s take you through everything about the job itself.

What’s the job? At Monkhouse ‘service is everything’ and your job will be to service our customers to a high standard. Practically this means taking care of our customers from when they enter the store to when they walk out.

Don’t worry, we will provide you with plenty of training around this and our products and we will buddy you up with an experienced assistant for the first couple of days to help settle you in. Once you know this, the rest of the job is just about a big smile and using a good conversation with customers.

Other tasks will include general support with stock management.

At Monkhouse working as a team is critical to getting the job. So, we are all in it together, and from time to time we support our colleagues in their tasks wherever needed.

When can I start? Our peak season kicks off in June so you can start anytime from May onwards, finishing September/October.

What's my location? We are located in Hereford with excellent public transport links.

Our team. We already employ around 5 permanent staff who work together and create a strong, experienced, and friendly team so you will work with someone with past experience but also team members who are joining for the first time.

Holidays. Your holiday entitlement is 28 days per annum including bank holidays, pro-rated to your hours of work and pro-rated to your term of employment. These accrued hours will be paid at the end of your contract.

Supporting first job applications? Monkhouse plays a huge part in the community by supplying uniform to the very children that will become part of that community.
