Our passion for well-crafted clothing, exemplary customer service and connection to our local communities drives everything we do. As we continue to grow in the UK and internationally, we are focussed on delivering excellence across every touchpoint, whether that is at our warehouse, in store or through our customer service channels, building a team that shares our values.
Each employee plays a part in the success of Seasalt, and this was evidenced by our Drapers Award win of “Best Place to Work”.

They support with all aspects of running a Seasalt store and encourage the team to deliver the high standards our customers expect. This role has the opportunity to be a great stepping stone in your retail career, with many of our Assistant Store Managers going on to be Store Managers.
