Join Our Team!

Are you a tidier by nature, actually like talking to people, take the initiative without always being asked, have a good sense of humour and are willing to learn more about creating a sustainable lifestyle and helping the environment.

If this sounds like you, we have good news!

We are hiring!

We want to find someone who is passionate and treats our business and our customers like it is their own.

The Job: Retail Associate. Sounds boring but we swear it’s fun!

Qualifications: Previous retail experience an asset, but not required. We are looking for someone who comes with a positive attitude, is great at creating a supportive environment for our customers and is willing to learn about and try zero waste and natural products. Must have valid driver’s license.

Your Responsibilities: Help inspire and educate others in their zero waste journey. Assisting customers in store by answering questions, selling, and refilling products. Opening and closing procedures, replenishing stock and helping keep the shop looking sharp are all things we do on the daily.

As we look to grow our company there may be additional things you can assist us with. Maybe you’re good at social media, design, or bookkeeping. We want you to grow with us!

The Hours: This position is casual as needed. We’re open Monday-Friday 10-5 and Saturdays 9-4. We do take part in many markets in our building or on-the-go so our hours can fluctuate and we schedule based on that and your availability. Must be available Saturdays.

The Pay: We believe in a fair wage, store discount and free products throughout the year.

The Impact: As we’re a small, local, and woman-owned shop, we encourage you to embody the importance of supporting local, small shops, makers, and our community. We’re ready to grow and we want you to have an impact on that!

How to Apply: Email your cover letter and resume to info@thealternativesk.com. Please include a list of your availability with your application.
