Full Time Seasonal Customer Service Assistant

Full Time Seasonal Customer Service Assistant

We are looking for an enthusiastic, professional and personable Seasonal Customer Service Assistant to join our team over the Christmas period. This is a seasonal position running until 17 January 2027, with the potential for the role to continue beyond this date depending on business needs and individual performance.

SIRPLUS began by making boxer shorts from surplus fabrics. Since then, our collection has grown to include limited-edition jackets, premium knitwear and wedding-worthy waistcoats. While we have evolved considerably, we have remained true to our roots: creating special pieces in small runs using quality fabrics.

After several years on Portobello Market, we opened our first standalone store just a stone’s throw from our original stall. Today, we have five central London locations across Portobello Road, Marylebone, Princes Arcade, King’s Road and Islington.

Our Islington store, located in the heart of Camden Passage, is also home to our Customer Service Hub. Our Customer Service team is responsible for providing an exceptional experience for our customers across our online store and over the phone.
