Seasonal Customer Advisor
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Seasonal Customer Advisor supports customers in store during busy trading periods. Typical requirements include a friendly and approachable manner, good communication skills, basic numeracy, reliability, and the ability to work well as part of a team. Previous retail or customer service experience is helpful but may not be essential. The successful candidate is expected to provide helpful, professional service, understand customer needs, maintain attractive and well-stocked displays, operate tills accurately, follow company procedures, and keep the store clean and organised. Flexibility is important, as shifts may include evenings, weekends, and peak seasonal dates. Candidates must generally have the right to work in the Isle of Man.
Can I work in the Isle of Man?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Shop-floor jobs are not higher-skilled, so a visa is unlikely unless the role is on the Shortage Occupation List. UK and Irish citizens need a GBP 60 permit.
Before you apply: Shop-floor jobs need no professional licence. Pharmacists do: they must register with the local regulator, and one qualified abroad often has to pass local exams first. Selling alcohol can need a short course and certificate, for example in Australia.
Watch for: Australians and Canadians aged 18 to 30 may be able to use the Youth Mobility Scheme (gov.im page; check it is open), with a permit.
Official source: Isle of Man Government: Immigration, Workers (Worker Migrant rules from 1 June 2026). Checked November 2026.
