John Paul College (JPC) is seeking friendly, customer-focused individuals to join our Retail Centre team as casual Retail Assistants in January 2026.

This is a wonderful opportunity to become part of a vibrant school community while working in our welcoming retail environment.

About the Opportunity

Our Retail Centre is often the first point of contact for new and existing families, making it a vital part of the JPC experience.

As a Retail Assistant, you'll help families find the right uniforms and apparel while delivering the warm, professional service our community has come to expect.

Working alongside our Retail Manager, you'll assist with customer service, stock management, visual merchandising, and daily sales reconciliations.

Candidates will need to be available to work fulltime throughout January and have strong availability Monday to Friday throughout February and March 2026, which will be our peak period for servicing current and new families.

Outside our busy back-to-school timing starting in January, the role will offer varied hours throughout the school year.

About You

You bring at least one year's retail experience and genuinely enjoy helping people. You're comfortable with POS systems, take pride in presentation and attention to detail, and can balance busy periods with a calm, positive approach. Flexibility to work weekends and extended hours during peak times is essential.

A current Paid Working with Children Check (Blue Card) is required prior to commencement.
