Retail Assistant - Full Time (Part Time Considered)

Party Source is WA's largest party shop. We stock over 8,000 products — costumes, balloons, decorations and party supplies — and serve customers in-store, over the phone and online from our Canning Vale store on Bannister Road.

We're looking for an experienced retail assistant to join us on a permanent basis. This is a hands-on shop-floor role, not a desk job. We'd prefer full time, but we will consider part time for the right person — minimum 30 hours a week.

What you'll be doing

• Serving customers on the floor and at the counter — helping people find what they need for birthdays, weddings, school events and every other occasion

• Operating the POS, handling cash and card, and processing refunds and exchanges

• Making up balloon arrangements and helium orders — we'll train you, but you'll need an eye for detail

• Picking, packing and handing over online and click-and-collect orders

• Receiving deliveries, pricing and ticketing stock, and keeping the shelves full and tidy

• Merchandising and setting up seasonal displays

• Stocktakes and general store presentation

What we're looking for

• At least 3 years' retail experience — this is a genuine requirement, not a wish

• Confident on a POS and handling cash accurately

• Comfortable working a busy floor and switching between customers, phone enquiries and stock work

• Reliable and on time, and happy to work Saturdays as part of a normal roster

• Australian work rights

• A driver's licence and your own transport is helpful — we're in an industrial area with limited public transport

Nice to have

• Experience with balloons, floristry, gift, costume or party retail

• Experience with online order fulfilment or click-and-collect

• Visual merchandising or display experience

What we offer

• Permanent hours — full time preferred, part time considered from 30 hours a week — with a guaranteed roster, paid annual leave and personal leave

• $60,000 – $62,000 plus superannuation

• A small team where you'll be trusted with real responsibility rather than being one of forty on a roster

• Free on-site parking, five minutes from Ranford Road

• Store trades Monday to Friday 9am–5pm and Saturday 9am–4pm. We are closed Sundays — no Sunday work, ever

• Genuine variety: no two weeks look the same between Book Week, Halloween, Christmas and wedding season
