Store Colleague - Part Time

We are Blacks and have been since 1863. We live and breathe the outdoors, from simple walks and technical hikes to arduous expeditions and intrepid exploration. Our aim has always been to make the outdoors as accessible as possible to everybody, ensuring that they have the right clothing and equipment for wherever their adventure takes them. From our nautical based beginnings, we’ve grown to be one of the most recognisable names on the high streets in the UK.

We’ve evolved to a point where our extensive range is available online, meaning we can equip like minded enthusiasts with the best clothing, footwear and equipment across the world.

At Blacks, we don’t just sell outdoor gear — we help people get outside and explore with confidence. As a Store Colleague, you’ll play an important role in delivering a great in-store experience every day, helping customers feel welcome, supported, and ready for their next adventure. You’ll bring energy to the shop floor by greeting customers confidently, keeping displays well presented, replenishing stock, and maintaining high service and presentation standards.

With a positive attitude, strong teamwork, and a passion for the outdoors, you’ll help keep the store running smoothly and reflect the high standards we’re known for.
