Our approach

Injuries can occur whilst playing sport, at work or in everyday life. That is why we offer our customers a comprehensive range of services relating to feet, ankles and legs. All under one roof: footwear for sport, everyday life and work; podiatry; sports podiatry; ultrasound; manual therapy; injury prevention; movement analysis; a Motionlab; and a workshop.

Xcelsior always works with the customer to find the best solution for their mobility needs:

  • this might simply be the purchase of a pair of shoes,
  • but it could also involve a referral from the shop to a podiatrist or the Motionlab

What will you be doing?

As a sports shop assistant, you’ll be the go-to person for runners and athletes. You’ll listen to their goals, analyse their running style and offer tailored advice.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Advising on and selling running and sports shoes
  • Working with customers to find solutions: from complaint to resolution
  • Analysing the full picture (running style, impact, goals)
  • Ensuring a pleasant and professional shopping experience

Who are you?

We’re looking for someone who not only knows about shoes, but also has a passion for sport – and ideally runs themselves.

You:

  • Are an active runner and have an affinity for sport
  • Are good at analysing the bigger picture
  • Think in a solution-oriented way and put the customer first
  • Have a commercial mindset and are persuasive
  • Have strong communication skills and inspire confidence
  • Work both independently and as part of a team
  • Are willing to develop yourself further through training
  • Are flexible in terms of availability

Which backgrounds suit us best:

  • a runner, running coach or triathlete,
  • a cyclist,
  • a hockey player,
  • a handball player,
  • a physiotherapist (in training),
  • a movement technologist (in training),
  • someone with an affinity for healthcare (not nutrition or dietetics).

What do we offer?

  • A varied role working 32 hours a week
  • The chance to work in an enthusiastic and committed team
  • Plenty of contact with athletes and active customers
  • Opportunities for personal development
  • A workplace where your passion for running really comes into its own
