**About Banana Home**

Banana Home is one of Australia’s fastest-growing furniture brands, redefining how Australians experience comfort and design. We focus on premium sofas and upholstery, offering high-quality, customisable pieces with transparent pricing and honest service.

We are proud to offer our customers a curated range of beautifully designed products from a bold, new-generation brand. In just five years, Banana Home has grown into a nationally recognised name, with over 20,000 orders delivered to homes across Australia. Our expansion into retail is a reflection of that momentum and—more importantly—what our brand means to our customers. This role offers you the opportunity to be part of our journey from the very beginning of our retail experience.

This is a meaningful and impactful position for someone who wants to be more than just a salesperson—you'll be part of a growing team, helping to shape the future of the brand. Our customers don’t just buy a couch because they need one—they fall in love with it. That’s why it’s essential you're a people person, ready to engage with and support the amazing customers who walk through our doors.

**Role Overview**
As a casual Showroom Assistant, you’ll be the face of Banana Home in our South Melbourne showroom working with your colleagues and assisting customers in looking at furniture and answering any questions or queries you might have. You will be assisting the person running the store in dealing with customers and providing any necessary assistance on the day as it can get busy at times. Your role is to provide a warm, memorable in-store experience, assisting customers in discovering the perfect pieces for their home and guiding them through the purchase journey with confidence and care.

**Key Responsibilities**
- Welcome and engage customers in a friendly, professional manner
- Provide thoughtful advice on product selection, configurations, materials, and finishes
- Maintain the visual merchandising and cleanliness of the showroom
- Support sales processing and assist with online order placement when required
- You're essentially providing assistance to the person running the store when there are multiple customers in the showroom at once.

**What We're Looking For**
- Previous experience in retail, showroom, or hospitality (furniture/homewares experience is a bonus)
- Someone who is looking for weekend or part-time work only. Ideally someone who is a student or someone just looking to earn a bit of extra money on a weekend.
- A naturally warm, confident communicator who loves connecting with people, but also thrives in a fast paced and dynamic work environment
- Interest in furniture, interiors, or design is highly regarded
- Tech-savvy and comfortable using POS, CRM, and online platforms
- Reliable, proactive, and comfortable working independently as well as in a team

**Why Join Us?**
- Be part of a fast-growing, design-forward Australian brand
- Join a supportive and passionate team in an exciting growth phase
- Enjoy staff discounts on Banana Home products
- Help shape the in-store customer experience from the ground up

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to be part of a collaborative team that’s redefining the furniture shopping experience. At Banana Home, we offer customisable products, transparent pricing, and an honest manufacturing program that delivers exceptional quality at great value.
