<p>Cathedral Appointments is recruiting on behalf of a large, well-established business for an Artworker to join its busy in-house marketing team in South Somerset. The team produces a steady programme of promotional campaigns every month, and this role will help keep that artwork accurate, on brand and ready for print.</p>

<p><strong>The Role</strong></p>

<p>Working alongside the marketing and creative teams, you will adapt and amend existing artwork, prepare files for print and check every detail before it goes to press. This is a hands-on production role rather than a conceptual design position, so it will suit someone who enjoys precise, technical work, takes pride in accuracy and is comfortable with shifting priorities and tight turnarounds. It is a good next step for a Junior Artworker, Artwork Operator or someone from a print production background who wants to develop within a larger in-house team.</p>

<p><strong>Responsibilities for the Artworker:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>Adapt and amend artwork for print in line with established brand guidelines.</li>
	<li>Use Adobe InDesign to place, format and prepare assets, making technical adjustments to imagery, colour and layout.</li>
	<li>Prepare files for CMYK print output to the required production specifications.</li>
	<li>Update prices, offers and promotional copy accurately, checking every change before sign-off.</li>
	<li>Manage a high volume of artwork across monthly campaigns, prioritising against deadlines and responding calmly to late changes.</li>
	<li>Work closely with marketing, creative and production colleagues to deliver assets on time.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Requirements for the Artworker include:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>Good working knowledge of Adobe InDesign, with the confidence to talk through how you have used it.</li>
	<li>Experience preparing or adapting artwork for print, ideally in a print production, artwork studio or reprographics setting.</li>
	<li>A sound understanding of print production, including press-ready files and CMYK colour.</li>
	<li>Excellent attention to detail, particularly with prices, promotional information and print specifications.</li>
	<li>The ability to work quickly and accurately on repetitive tasks to tight deadlines.</li>
	<li>Photoshop and Illustrator would be useful, although strong InDesign skills are the priority.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Benefits:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>Permanent, on-site role.</li>
	<li>25 days&rsquo; annual leave plus bank holidays.</li>
	<li>7.5% bonus scheme following successful completion of a three-month probationary period.</li>
	<li>Pension scheme and healthcare benefits.</li>
	<li>The chance to build your artwork and print production skills across a varied programme of campaigns.</li>
</ul>

<p>If you are technically confident, enjoy getting the details right and are keen to keep learning, we would love to hear from you.</p>

<p>Cathedral Appointments is recruiting on behalf of an independent specialist retailer serving customers across Devon and Cornwall. They are looking for a caring, practical and dependable Mobility Retail Advisor to join their Exeter team. This is a varied, customer-facing role combining needs-led advice, product demonstrations, showroom presentation, administration and practical product handling, helping people find equipment that genuinely supports their independence.</p>

<p><strong>A Different Approach to Sales</strong></p>

<p>This is not a commission-based business and there is no pressurised selling. Mobility equipment can have a significant effect on somebody&#39;s independence, safety and quality of life, so the priority is always to listen carefully, understand the individual&#39;s needs and recommend the most appropriate solution. The business grows by earning trust, delivering excellent outcomes and building lasting relationships, guided by values of honesty, empathy, innovation, integrity and trust.</p>

<p><strong>The Role</strong></p>

<p>You will support a diverse range of customers and their families, from people choosing their first mobility scooter to those exploring new equipment after a lifetime of disability, often in sensitive circumstances. You will work Tuesday to Saturday, 9:00am to 5:00pm. No previous mobility industry experience is needed. Full product training will be provided, with future scope to progress into a Product Specialist role.</p>

<p><strong>Responsibilities for the Mobility Retail Advisor:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>Welcome customers and create a friendly, professional showroom experience</li>
	<li>Listen carefully to understand each customer&#39;s needs, lifestyle and priorities, then advise on and demonstrate the right equipment without using pressure-sales techniques</li>
	<li>Respond to telephone, email and in-person enquiries, and arrange demonstrations in the showroom and, where required, at customers&#39; homes</li>
	<li>Maintain accurate customer, product and sales records using a bespoke CRM system, and process cash and card transactions</li>
	<li>Assemble, check, charge and prepare products for display, demonstration and handover, including showing customers how scooters dismantle and lift into a vehicle</li>
	<li>Load and unload equipment from company vans, and keep the showroom clean, organised and attractively presented</li>
	<li>Work collaboratively with colleagues to meet the needs of customers and the wider business</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Requirements for the Mobility Retail Advisor include:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>Previous experience in retail, customer service, care, healthcare, equipment hire, automotive sales or a similar customer-facing advisory environment, although candidates from other backgrounds with the right values and transferable skills are also welcome</li>
	<li>Excellent customer service and active-listening skills, with a patient, empathetic and respectful approach</li>
	<li>Confidence discussing sensitive situations professionally</li>
	<li>Strong attention to detail, good organisation and pride in maintaining high showroom standards</li>
	<li>A practical approach and comfort with regular manual handling, as this is an active, hands-on role (training and safe handling equipment are provided)</li>
	<li>A full UK driving licence and confidence driving a larger vehicle, as home demonstrations may involve a company van</li>
	<li>Clear written and verbal communication, and confidence using basic computer systems</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Benefits:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>Salary of &pound;26,000 - &pound;28,000, depending on experience</li>
	<li>Permanent, full-time hours, <strong>Tuesday to Saturday</strong>, 9:00am to 5:00pm</li>
	<li>Company pension</li>
	<li>Free on-site parking</li>
	<li>Structured product training and support from experienced colleagues</li>
	<li>A non-commission environment, with opportunities to progress towards a Product Specialist role</li>
</ul>

<p>If you take pride in doing the job properly and want work that makes a genuine difference to people&#39;s lives, we would love to hear from you.</p>

<p>This is a 14-hour role. Saturday, 8:30am to 4:30pm, is essential, with the remaining hours worked either as a full day on Monday or as shorter shifts across Monday and Friday, so there is some flexibility to fit around other commitments.

	<li>Book in returned products and help prepare them for reuse, following established refurbishment and cleaning processes.</li>
	<li>Follow warehouse procedures and quality standards, supporting colleagues across the operation where needed.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Requirements for the Warehouse Assistant include:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>Previous experience in a warehouse, stores or stock control role.</li>
	<li>Strong IT skills, including confident use of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel and Outlook). This is essential.</li>
	<li>Experience of Sage or Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision) is preferred, as is pick and pack experience.</li>
	<li>A high level of accuracy and attention to detail, with the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines.</li>
	<li>Comfortable with some manual handling, including lifting boxes of up to 20kg. The role does not involve extensive heavy lifting.</li>
	<li>Familiarity with Royal Mail or courier dispatch systems, or experience in an ISO 9001 environment, would be an advantage.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Benefits:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>&pound;9,920 per annum (&pound;24,800 FTE), a permanent part-time position.</li>
	<li>14 hours per week: Saturday 8:30am to 4:30pm, plus either a full Monday or Friday</li>
	<li>Daytime hours with no evening work.</li>
	<li>Clear, established processes and the chance to learn the business&rsquo;s internal systems.</li>
	<li>A supportive, collaborative team where your work makes a real difference to customers.</li>
