Dorking Stoves, Ignition Fires is recruiting for a Sales/Customer Service Assistant for our showroom at Pump Corner, Dorking.

Dorking Stoves, Ignition Fires is one of the leading and longest established suppliers of Fireplaces, Stoves, Gas and Electric Fires in the South. We sell a wide variety of top quality fireplace and heating furniture to private clients, local builders and developers across the South.

No experience of Stoves and Fireplaces is necessary as full product training will be given, but a willingness to learn is important. A background or experience in a similar customer facing role would be a distinct advantage.

The core role is dealing with customers in person and on the phone and by email, but it also involves looking after the showroom - keeping the displays clean, tidy, priced up and presentable. Also dealing with suppliers, checking availability, liaising with colleagues at Guildford. Helping with the branch admin and banking etc. Initially you would be mainly acting as back up and support to a Dorking colleague but after a successful training period there would be some sole charge days.

Good accurate skills with Email and Word are essential and you need to be happy and confident with numbers for pricing and quoting purposes.

We are looking at between 3-5 days a week and this must include Saturday, as this is our busiest day. The core hours are 8-30-5pm but there is some scope for flexibility in those hours for the right applicant. Salary will be dependent on hours and experience but will be competitive.

The role would primarily be based at our South Street, Dorking showroom but there would be some training days required at our main Guildford superstore.

To apply or for any further information please contact [email protected] enclosing CV and and relevant information where appropriate. Or call Giles Simpson on 01483-571026, but email is preferred in first instance. No agencies pls.

Ignition Fires (Dorking Stoves + Guildford Stoves) are recruiting to strengthen our team.
For this new role we’re looking for what we’d describe as a “Handyman Plus”.
You would be mainly involved with setting up and maintaining new displays in the three showrooms which requires a variety of multi-trade skills and a willingness to turn your hand to anything - simple carpentry and construction, plumbing, decoration etc. Building up fireplaces and flues: a little bit of studwork, minor brick/blockwork and a little patch plastering/making good etc. None of it is that difficult for a practical, experienced person. We’re after a "jack of all trades" rather than a master of one particular aspect – though we would consider an ace plumber or builder that could turn their hand to the other aspects as well.
A smaller aspect of the job would be to offer some help and cover on the delivery rota – delivering stoves and fireplaces out to customers’ homes using our taillift van – in support of, and as back up/cover for our main delivery driver.
A further aspect of the job would be to offer support to the showroom staff in peak times. We’re not expecting a sales or fireplace expert, but the applicant should be presentable and happy to talk to customers in the showroom about the fires and stoves during peak times.
The role would be based at our Guildford showroom but would involve work at our Dorking and Holmwood showrooms from time to time.
An immediate start is available for this permanent position. The hours would be 8-30am to 5pm and the working week is Saturday +4 weekdays with Sunday plus either Weds/Thurs/Friday off. We could possibly look at a reduced week – 3 or 4 days but the Saturday is a key part as it is our busiest day.
This is a great opportunity for someone that no longer wants to be on the tools full time but has a variety of practical skills and experience. Someone looking for a stable and long term position with one of the premier Stove and Fireplace suppliers in the South East. The job offers lots of variety and an interesting workload where every day would be different.
Salary is flexible and negotiable according to the experience and capability of the applicant.
If you’re interested in the role please contact Giles Simpson on 01483-571026 or drop a line with CV and brief outline of experience through to [email protected].
