ABOUT US

Do you want to be part of an exciting team? We’re on the hunt for tech-savvy Casual Online Sales Assistant to join our Online Sales team at our Online Hub in Molendinar, QLD.
So, what are we looking for? You’re the type of person who thinks “I’ll just Google it…” and knows a thing or two about Collectables, Electronics, Fashion or Jewellery. You’re also an excellent communicator, with strong written English that will allow you to create descriptive and accurate online listings.

With new items listed every day - no day is the same at our Online Hub. Here’s some of the things you can expect to do in this role:

• Write detailed and accurate listing descriptions, meeting set daily targets.
• Upload listings to the Online Sales platform (relevant training provided).
• Photograph items, including merchandising, to make sure each item looks it’s best.
• Assist with dispatch – we need to make sure each item we sell reaches the buyer in one piece!
• Check-in stock when it arrives at the Online Hub, including shelving and storage, and conduct stock counts as required.
• Keep a close eye out for items that you think would sell well online.
• General customer service via phone and email.
• Internal support for Salvos Stores on eCommerce related queries

We’re looking for someone who meets the following:

• You’ve got a positive nature and solid work ethic.
• You have great communication skills and eyes for details.
• You’ve got an inquisitive mind. When faced with a puzzling question, you think “I’ll Google that…”
• You can be relied on to get stuff done. You’re not afraid of meeting targets and prioritise tasks to get the job done.
• You’re a team player. You’ll ask someone if you’re not sure of the answer and always give a hand if someone needs help.
• You feel more at home using a computer than you do holding a pen. You’ve had plenty of experience using Microsoft Office and often trawl the internet.
• You’re familiar with eBay and have experience creating listings yourself.
• You’ve got a special interest or expertise in one of these areas: Antiques and Collectables, Electronics, Fashion or Jewellery.

This role offers an exceptional opportunity to gain hands-on experience working in the thriving eCommerce and Online Sales sector.
