JUNIOR TEXTILE STUDIO & BUSINESS… at Carole Nevin… · Muizenberg

About the position:

We are an established textile design and manufacturing business based in Muizenberg, Cape Town, specialising in hand-printed fabrics and textile products.

We are looking for a bright, capable and organised junior assistant with at least a Matric to help with the day-to-day running of the business.

This is a varied, hands-on role in a small business, combining general administration, customer communication, basic marketing support and practical studio tasks.

We are looking for someone who is comfortable using a computer, has an eye for images and presentation, enjoys communicating with people and is willing to learn. A practical, can-do attitude and the ability to follow tasks through to completion are particularly important.

This is an excellent learning and career opportunity

The role:

Your responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with general administration, order processing and record-keeping.
• Following up customer enquiries and potential sales leads.
• Communicating with customers and suppliers by email and telephone.
• Helping to keep track of orders, stock and deliveries.
• Assisting with social media posts and keeping the website up to date.
• Preparing and updating product catalogues, price lists and simple marketing material.
• Using Photoshop or similar software for basic image editing and preparing product photographs.
• Helping with the organisation of the studio and general production support.
• Assisting with packing, dispatch and other everyday tasks as needed.

The work is varied, and no two days are necessarily the same. Some tasks will involve computer work and communication; others will be practical. We need someone who is happy to turn their hand to different things and understands that every task matters in a small business.

About you:

You should be:

• Bright, organised and reliable.
• Comfortable with computers and everyday office software.
• Familiar with Photoshop or similar image-editing software, with an interest in images and presentation.
• Familiar with Excel and other Microsoft applications.
• Comfortable with social media and willing to learn new computer systems.
• Friendly and confident when communicating with customers.
• Practical, resourceful and willing to learn.
• Able to work independently once given instructions, and good at following things through.

A matric certificate is required and qualification in design, textiles, marketing or a related field would be an advantage, but is not essential. Some experience with graphic design, retail, administration or social media would also be useful.

You do not need to be an experienced designer or marketing specialist. We are looking for someone with a good basic skill set, common sense, initiative and the willingness to get involved in the everyday running of the business.

What we offer:

A permanent, full-time position in an established textile business, with the opportunity to gain significant practical experience across administration, customer service, marketing and textile production.

This position would suit someone at the beginning of their career who enjoys variety, is keen to learn and takes pride in doing things well.
