Slightly Foxed is looking for an enthusiastic, book-loving person to help on a part-time basis with packing orders, gift-wrapping books and subscriptions, stock management and general day-to-day administration of orders.
Slightly Foxed is the highly-acclaimed yet good-humoured and unstuffy literary magazine and small press that introduces its readers to good books from both the past and present. Founded in 2004 by former John Murray Editors Gail Pirkis and Hazel Wood, this year sees us celebrate our 20th anniversary.
We need a well-organized person who genuinely takes satisfaction in preparing and dispatching items, enjoys gift-wrapping, and is happy to hand-write personalised cards and messages. Slightly Foxed prides itself on its personal, friendly and high-end service and you would be a very important part of our small and friendly team.
A reasonable level of fitness is required as the office is on the first floor and you’ll be moving items from the bookshelves to the packing desk, preparing the post and taking it downstairs ready for collection each day, and helping the rest of the staff bring deliveries of books and packing materials upstairs into the office on a regular basis.
You’ll also need a good understanding of computers as part of your role will be processing orders, logging stock in and out of the office and entering the day’s post totals into our Royal Mail online system.
