Retail Assistant

Rawson Brothers is a small but expanding jewellery manufacturer based in Upper Hutt. We have an in-store workshop and goldsmith to handle our clients’ needs, offering services far beyond those of a regular jewellery retailer. We specialise in jewellery repairs and bespoke pieces and have built a loyal following of happy customers.

We believe in continuous improvement of both our offering and our skills, and we're willing to train the right applicant in the art of jewellery. What we can’t teach is personality and natural salesmanship.

We’re looking for the right person to help us manage our ever-increasing customer base and the associated workload—this includes jewellery repairs, bespoke creations, and taking ownership of both our online and in-store sales, inventory management, and day-to-day tasks.

Non-Negotiables

  • A cover letter—so we can get to know a bit about your personality

  • This is an in-store role. Work from home is not available.

What’s in It for You

  • As an early team member, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact on the company’s growth while developing your skills

  • Varied tasks and areas of responsibility

  • Support when it’s needed

  • Starting rate at the living wage, with opportunities to increase income through completion of training modules

  • We offer a degree of flexibility, but are ideally looking for around 30 hours per week. We work Tuesday to Saturday, and some Saturdays will be required (10am–2pm)
