Applications close on Monday, 27 July.
Your primary role as Retail Experience Assistant will be to provide a five-star-level of customer service. Our aim is to work
together to create an engaging, enlightening and enjoyable experience for every visitor to The Shop, so that everybody feels
welcome and able to talk to our team.
Our approach to retail has been developed in line with the Japanese concept of Omotenashi:
“Translated simply, Omotenashi means the Japanese way of treating a guest. It blends a welcoming spirit with warmth,
understanding, and above all respect.
The Japanese language makes no distinction between ‘guest’ and ‘customer.’ In English, the concept of ‘service’ suggests a
hierarchy between the ‘server’ and the ‘customer.’ The Japanese Omotenashi, however, is based on a non-dominant relationship
between equals – between the person offering the service (the host) and the person receiving it (the guest or customer).
To practice Omotenashi, the host pays close attention to detail and is committed to anticipating the needs of the guest, smiling
sincerely and setting a happy, relaxed mood…”
