Supplement Solutions is an award-winning online retailer of leading brand supplements, wormers and health care products for horses, and pets.   The company was established 15 years ago and has grown into a well known, respected brand within the equestrian industry, with both consumers and trade.  The business is primarily online, however regards excellent customer service and brand relationships as the key to success. 

We are now looking to strengthen our team and recruit new members, ideally full time, but part time may be considered.  We are looking for people who really want to help make a difference.  Applicants must have the required skills, along with a positive attitude, a passion for the equine industry, attention to detail, and a desire to do well.

Required Skills:

Equine knowledge: As a specialist supplement retailer our team members are expected to learn and know about products. You will be required to advise members of the public, therefore a certain level of equine knowledge, plus an interest to learn, is essential along with the confidence to complete a sale.  A graduate is ideal but we will also accept applications with other relevant qualifications, exams or experience.

Computer knowhow:  As an internet retailer, our entire systems are operated by computers and other digital devices.  You must be able to use word and excel, and be quick to learn and adapt to other applications.

What does the role entail?

This is a hands-on task, requiring lifting and carrying of heavy items.  The role would include:

• Taking orders and advising customers (phone, email, face to face)

• Receiving and unloading deliveries
• Picking and packing customer orders
• Pricing and comparison of products
• Website work, including adding new products
• Marketing

• Greeting visitors and serving refreshments
• Cleaning

We require happy and enthusiastic people to join us and embrace our passion and concepts.  If there is a particular sector that you are interested in developing please do let us know and there may be an opportunity to work towards that.
