You will also:

• Have technical knowledge about wines and spirits (WSET Level 2 or 3 / any similar qualification, including the making and aging processes, and their stock management is beneficial but not essential)

• Be able to advise and inform clients on the right type of wines and spirits based on their preferences.
• Enjoy the challenge of achieving sales targets.
• Be resilient and adaptable to your audience and environment, believing that anything is possible.
• Have great organisational skills to keep the shop floor running smoothly.
• Be collaborative in your nature, and thrive as part of a team, building relationships with colleagues and customers alike.
