Consett Magazine Distributor and Sales Assistant
About Consett Magazine
Connsett Magazine has been part of this town since 2012. It goes into homes, shops, and businesses across Consett and the surrounding villages every month, and we are looking for one person to take charge of getting it out there, and then to help local businesses get into it.
That is two jobs in one, and we would rather be straight about it from the start.
Delivery Round
The first week of every month is the delivery round:
- You collect the print run and get it out to the shops, cafes, community venues, and pick-up points across Consett.
- It is a concentrated couple of days and it needs someone reliable, because if it does not happen the magazine does not reach anybody.
Sales and Engagement
The rest of the month is the more interesting half:
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- You are out in Consett meeting business owners, telling them what the magazine does, and signing up the ones who want to be in it.
- There are no cold-call scripts, no daily targets, and no pressure selling.
- We are a local magazine and the businesses we want in it are our neighbours. What works here is turning up, being known, and being useful.
Who We Are Looking For
- Confident and comfortable starting a conversation with someone you have not met before
- Organised enough to run your own diary without being chased
- Living in or around Consett, and genuinely interested in the place
- Own car or van, with insurance that covers business use. Mileage is paid at 45p a mile
- No advertising or sales experience needed. We would rather find the right person and teach them the rest

Being Straight About the Shape of It
This is a part-time job of around 27 hours a month, so for most people it will sit alongside something else, and that is fine. If it is your second job you should know that tax is normally taken at 20% on the second one.
The commission is the part of this job with real headroom and it is uncapped, but it takes a few months to build, which is exactly why there is a guaranteed minimum while you get going.
