The Vacancy
Help us share the joy of good wine this Christmas!
We're looking for Seasonal Member Services Advisers
Comprehensive training provided
Help our members with all their festive wine needs and queries
Christmas is the most exciting time of year at The Wine Society, as we busy ourselves sending out festive wine, treats, hampers and gifts to our members all over the UK.
That’s where we need you!
We’re looking for passionate, committed Member Services Advisers to help us deliver fantastic customer service to our members over Christmas.
Maybe you’ve worked in the wine trade before, or have experience in customer service? If so, if you’ve got a great phone manner and excellent keyboard skills, we’d love to hear from you.
From handling incoming calls to dealing with member enquiries, this is a varied and challenging role, where you’ll work as part of a close-knit, friendly team. We’ll provide a week-long intensive training programme and give you all the support you’ll need.
The Company
For over 150 years, The Wine Society has been bringing people and great wine together. We’re a unique, member-owned organisation, which means our members are at the heart of everything we do. We source exceptional wines from producers across the world and offer them at fair prices, supported by knowledgeable people and outstanding service.
Our mutual status allows us to take a different approach. Rather than focusing on short-term profit, we focus on doing what’s right for our members, our employees, our suppliers and the long-term future of the business. Integrity and doing the right thing have been part of who we are for generations, helping us become one of the UK’s most respected wine merchants. But while we’re proud of our heritage, we’re equally focused on the future — continually evolving how we work, developing our people and creating an organisation that’s fit for the years ahead. Being a responsible business is central to that future. We’re committed to making a positive difference through the choices we make — supporting the people and communities we work with, protecting the future of the wines and products we love, and reducing our impact on the planet.
150 years of heritage. Member-owned. Values-led. And always looking forward.

That’s why we have clear commitments around equity and inclusion, health and wellbeing, and promoting responsible enjoyment of wine.
