Shop Assistant

Come join our bubbly, multicultural team at the Fairlie Bakehouse!

We're looking for a friendly Shop Assistant to join our front of house team for the busy summer season!

With staff from all around the world, we're a fun, welcoming team who are always excited to meet someone new. If you've got a positive attitude, strong English communication skills and enjoy working with people, we'd love to hear from you!

About the Role - Shop Assistant

You'll be helping keep our busy bakery running smoothly by:

• Greeting and serving customers
• Restocking shelves, cabinets and displays
• Operating the till and handling payments
• Keeping the shop clean and tidy

This is an active role, so being reasonably fit is important. There'll be some lifting involved, and you'll be on your feet throughout your shifts.

The Details

• Minimum 3-month paid position covering November, December and January, with immediate start dates available
• Full-time role - minimum 40 hours per week
• Extra hours may be available when needed, plus time-and-a-half pay on public holidays - a great chance to save for your next adventure!
• A free pie and drink for lunch each shift 🥧
• Assistance connecting with local accommodation providers

As the summer season is our busiest time of year, we require flexibilty throughout the Christmas and New Year period. We are closed on the 25th and 26th of December, so you will have these two days off to enjoy. We are open all other days so availability during this period is essential.

Why You'll Love It Here

Fairlie is a hidden gem in the heart of the South Island, perfectly located for exploring some of New Zealand's most beautiful destinations, including Lake Tekapo, Aoraki/Mount Cook, Wānaka and Queenstown. With rostered days off each week, you'll have plenty of opportunities to get out and explore.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you!
