Casual (Regular Part-Time Hours)

Bits of Australia is looking for an experienced Retail Assistant to join our Balmain shop for approximately 20–25 hours per week, including Saturdays.

We are a specialist Australian-made gift store with a large online range, so this role is a mix of customer service, shop presentation, stock management and preparing online orders.

• Availability to work Saturdays
• Strong attention to detail
• Good communication skills
• Confidence working independently
• A practical, hands-on approach
• The ability to stay organised and productive during quieter periods
