Job Description
Clapham Cycle is an established independent bike shop based in the heart of Clapham Junction. Since opening in 2021, we have built a loyal customer base and a friendly, knowledgeable team with a genuine enthusiasm for bikes and cycling.
As we continue to grow, we’re looking for one or potentially two new people to bring fresh skills, experience and ideas to the business.
We are particularly interested in hearing from:
• An experienced Store Manager—or someone ready to take the next step into management—who can help lead the day-to-day running of the shop, support the team and deliver excellent customer service.
• A Senior Workshop Mechanic with strong technical knowledge who can complete servicing and repairs to a high standard, confidently advise customers and help maintain an efficient, professional workshop.
We also welcome applications from mechanics at other stages of their careers. If you have a solid foundation, a willingness to learn and a genuine passion for bikes, we would be very pleased to hear from you.
What we offer:
• Competitive salary, dependent on experience
• Performance-based bonus scheme
• Sociable working hours—we are closed every Sunday
• Pension scheme
• 28 days’ holiday, including bank holidays
• Training and development opportunities
• Trade pricing on bikes, parts and accessories
• A friendly, supportive working environment
• A great location close to Clapham Junction station
We are looking for someone who can start as soon as possible, although we will consider individual notice periods for the right candidate.
To apply, please send your CV and a short introduction to Thomas at thomas@claphamcycle.com.
Skills/Experience Required
The ideal candidate will be:
• Friendly, enthusiastic and customer-focused
• Passionate about bikes and cycling
• Ambitious and keen to share and develop their skills
• Comfortable working as part of a sociable, supportive team
• Able to bring useful experience, fresh ideas and initiative to the business
Experience working with a range of bicycle brands would be advantageous, particularly Brompton and Merida, although this is not essential.
For the Store Manager opportunity, previous retail management or supervisory experience is preferred, although we will consider someone ready to take the next step.
For the Senior Workshop Mechanic opportunity, strong professional workshop experience and the ability to complete servicing and repairs to a high standard are preferred. Applications from mechanics at other stages of their careers are also welcome.
