Equine Retail Trainee – Full Time

Equine Retail Trainee – Full Time

Registered Traineeship | Dubbo NSW | Horse Experience Essential

Love horses and wondering how to turn that knowledge into a career?

Marsh Carney Saddlery is looking for a motivated Equine Retail Trainee to join our Dubbo team in a full-time registered traineeship.

This is an ideal opportunity for a school leaver or someone at the beginning of their career who already has a genuine background with horses and wants to build a career in the equine and retail industry.

You'll receive on-the-job training while working towards a nationally recognised qualification in retail operations – gaining practical experience, industry knowledge and a qualification at the same time.

You don't need years of retail experience. We're looking for the right person with horse knowledge, a great attitude and a willingness to learn.

About the traineeship

This is a registered traineeship, combining practical, on-the-job experience with formal training.

You'll:

• Work towards a Certificate in Retail Operations

• Receive comprehensive on-the-job training

• Develop your knowledge of saddlery, equine products and retail

• Learn valuable customer service and sales skills

• Gain practical experience as part of an established equine business

• Be supported by an experienced team throughout your traineeship

Your employment and training package will be tailored to the successful applicant, taking into consideration their age, experience and circumstances.

What you'll be doing

No two customers – or horses – are the same!

Working alongside our experienced Dubbo team, you'll learn how to:

• Welcome customers and provide friendly, helpful service

• Talk with customers about their horses and what they need

• Assist customers in selecting suitable equine products

• Develop detailed knowledge across our saddlery and equine ranges

• Process sales and learn retail systems

• Receive, unpack, replenish and organise stock

• Maintain attractive and well-presented displays

• Help keep the store organised, clean and welcoming

• Work as part of a team to achieve store goals

As your knowledge and confidence grow, so will your responsibilities.

Who we're looking for

Horse knowledge is essential for this position.

We're looking for someone who has spent genuine time around horses and understands the basics of horse care, equipment and the equine world.

You might have grown up on a property, competed at pony club, campdrafted, shown horses, worked with stock horses, been involved in racing or simply spent years riding and caring for your own horses.

More importantly, you'll be:

• Friendly and confident talking to people

• Genuinely interested in helping customers

• Reliable and willing to work

• Keen to learn and take direction

• Well presented and organised

• Comfortable working as part of a team

• Interested in building a career, not simply finding a short-term job

Previous retail experience is not essential – we'll teach you. Your horse knowledge and attitude are much more important to us.

Hours

This is a full-time position working 76 hours per fortnight, including rostered Saturdays.

Additional hours may occasionally be required during busy periods, with approved overtime paid extra.

Applicants must be available to work the required full-time roster.
