Working
with us

Shakespeare and Company is always interested in hearing from experienced booksellers who are interested in joining our shopfloor team; working both on the shopfloor and on the tills, in customer-facing positions.

Our bookshop is visited by readers from around the world and we aim to give them a pleasant experience of the book world. Being enthusiastic about sharing your favourite books is a must, and enjoying encountering lots of new people - often dealing with crowds - with a calm and friendly manner is also critical. Spoken French and English is essential, as is previous bookselling experience, punctuality, good detail orientation, and the ability to work in a team and under pressure.
