A Day in the Life of a Whittard Sales Advisor
Whether you're brewing the perfect sample or sharing your favourite blend, every shift is a chance to create something memorable. You’ll play a key role in making every visit feel personal, inspiring customers to explore, taste, and return again.
You’ll Be

- Operationally Reliable: Maintaining clean, well-stocked displays and following store opening/closing routines to keep everything running like clockwork.
- Always Curious: Seeking feedback, staying up to date on new products, and looking for ways to improve your own performance and the customer experience.
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.
No two days are quite the same, but every one is grounded in warm welcomes, great conversations, and the magic of a perfectly brewed cup.
What Makes You a Great Fit?
We’re looking for someone who thrives in a busy, customer-focused retail environment and takes pride in making every interaction count.
You’ll Need
- A passion for customer service with a friendly, proactive approach
- Confidence using sales skills to enhance the customer experience
- A team-player mindset with great communication skills
- Strong attention to detail when it comes to store standards and operations
- Flexibility to work a range of shifts, including weekends and key trading periods
