Christmas Casual Retail Assistant

Fitzroy and Queen Victoria Market · 2–3 days per week

Hunted + Gathered is a Melbourne chocolate maker based in Cremorne. We make small-batch organic chocolate using single-origin cacao and a small number of carefully chosen ingredients.

We’re looking for a warm, capable and reliable Retail Assistant to work across our Fitzroy shop and Queen Victoria Market over the Christmas period, working 2–3 days per week. Weekend availability is essential, with occasional public holiday work required. There is potential to continue beyond Christmas, depending on business needs.

About the role

As a Retail Assistant, you will:

• Welcome customers and provide thoughtful, personalised service
• Learn about our products and confidently assist customers
• Process sales and support the day-to-day running of the shop and market stall
• Replenish stock and maintain considered, well-presented displays
• Keep our retail spaces clean, organised and inviting
• Assist with deliveries, events and product launches when required

About you

We’d love to hear from someone who:

• Is friendly, confident and genuinely enjoys helping people
• Communicates warmly and professionally
• Is reliable, organised and attentive to detail
• Takes initiative and works well within a small team
• Is comfortable working independently once trained
• Is interested in our products and eager to learn
• Has previous retail or customer-service experience
• Is available to work weekends and through the lead-up to Christmas

Some Queen Victoria Market shifts start at 6:45am, so the ability to reliably attend early shifts is important.

What we offer

• A pleasant, professional workplace built on care and mutual respect
• A supportive small-team environment
• Product knowledge and customer-service training
• Rosters provided in advance to support work-life balance
• Staff discounts
• Potential to continue beyond the Christmas season, depending on business needs
