Area 6 Mobile Colleague

Role overview

Timpson is looking for a mobile colleague to join its service-led retail team in Preston and the surrounding area. This is a permanent, full-time position for someone who enjoys varied customer-facing work and wants the chance to build a career in a fast-moving retail environment.

About the company

Part of Timpson Group Limited, Timpson is a long-established family business founded in 1865. It operates as the UK’s largest service retailer, with more than 1,300 stores across the country. The company says it has a culture built on trust and gives colleagues freedom to do their best work. Timpson has also been recognised by The Sunday Times as one of the best places to work in the UK.

What the job involves

In this role, you will support customers across a wide range of services, including key cutting, watch and mobile phone repairs, engraving, shoe repairs, photo processing, dry cleaning, and other store services. The company provides full training from day one, so prior experience is not essential. The aim is to help new colleagues learn quickly and develop the skills needed to succeed and progress.

You will also be expected to carry out one act of kindness each day for a customer or colleague as part of the role’s culture.

Working pattern and pay

The position offers a starting salary of £26,520 per year, with the possibility of earning uncapped weekly bonuses after a successful trial period. Working hours are 40 per week across 5 days, including weekends, and overtime may be available after training.

Benefits and rewards

Timpson offers a wide range of colleague benefits, including free holiday homes, uncapped performance bonuses, a discount card with up to 90% off for colleagues and up to 25% off for friends and family, an extra day off on your birthday, paid leave for a child’s first day at school, annual salary reviews, social events, weekly £1,000 lottery draws, strong promotion opportunities, ongoing training, a £100 marriage bonus, and mental health support such as free flu jabs and a 24-hour helpline.

What Timpson is looking for

The company places more value on personality than formal qualifications. It is seeking people who are upbeat, approachable, self-assured, and able to communicate well. Applications are welcomed from people of all backgrounds, including ex-offenders.

Application note

This is a great opportunity for someone from retail or hospitality who wants a fresh challenge, variety in their day-to-day work, and a route into long-term career growth.
