We are looking for a nice, honest, motivated and hands-on individual to join our small friendly, helpful and enthusiastic team. We all muck-in and take turns to make the tea.
U-Handbag is an online store which specialises in Bag Making supplies. We are based in Brighton, UK. We are an online shop only. All orders are packed and dispatched in-house for mail order. Lisa (the boss) is extremely proud of her little business and is obsessed with giving her customers good service (so you will need to help her achieve that at all times).
Duties will include:
- processing and packing customer orders
- helping Lisa plan weekly work-flow
- ordering stationary and some supplies
- answering the phone to help customers and to take orders over the phone
- answering emails
- stock taking and processing supplies orders
- processing the daily post
- fabric cutting to make kits
- keeping the office organised

- have good photography skills
- are numerate and very organised

- are a tidy perfectionist. There will be a lot of measuring and counting to do.
- are computer literate. We use a Mac computer. Photoshop/In Design skills would be great.
- have a craft blog, use any social media, that's wonderful.
- are happy to use the phone. We get a lot of calls and we like to try to help by answering bag making queries if we can
- are fluent in English because you will be answering the phone and answering emails
- are committed, trustworthy and reliable - this is absolutely essential please.
