We have a relatively low staff turnover here at Pyranha as we all rather like our jobs, however from time to time we need to add fresh talent and skills to the team. We will consider all applications, but being a paddler will always stand you in good stead, providing you have the necessary qualifications, skills or experience required for the position.
Established in 1971 and part of the Pyranha / P&H / Venture family, Go Kayaking is a specialist retailer of paddlesports craft and equipment, with waterside locations in Llangollen and Runcorn, where you’ll find a range of trusted brands in stock, covering a broad spectrum of disciplines including Canoeing, Whitewater Kayaking, Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Sea Kayaking, Sit-on-Tops, and Packrafting.
Our staff are all passionate paddlers, who love to share their knowledge and experience, and whose primary focus is on offering expert advice and a comprehensive service to paddlers of all types, abilities, and experience levels, ensuring they have the right gear to meet their needs and ambitions – if that sounds like you, and you’re looking for a door into the paddlesports industry, read on.

We need an individual who is comfortable and confident in handling enquiries and offering advice whether it be face-to-face, via telephone, by email, or through any of Go Kayaking's other online channels. The ideal candidate would have strong baseline knowledge across a range of paddlesports, and be pro-active and reliable with a commitment to delivering exceptional customer service.
Hours: The role is a full time position; a total of 40 working hours split across 5 days a week, with a minimum of 2 weekends per month. The rota will be set 1 month in advance.
Location: The role will be split evenly between our Runcorn and Llangollen stores.
Responsibilities:
You will be joining the small team of enthusiasts behind Pyranha, P&H, Venture, and NRS Europe - the benefits, opportunities, and potential for progression are therefore broad, but once you have a firm grasp on the above role, your immediate horizon could see you exploring an expanded role including the potential for marketing, web design, system management, product testing, and/or events work.
All relevant training will be provided including product training, customer service training, and POS system training.
Our intended start date for the role is asap.
