JOB LISTING
Bike Fitter / Assistant Part Time ( 24hrs per week)
Overview
Pedalling Perfection has been fully booked from the day we launched. We are very committed to offering the best bike fitting services to our clients and see ourselves on a constant mission to continue to improve our services and the bike fitting industry as a whole. Our success has meant we are now finding we can’t keep up with demand whilst pushing our research and rider support forward so we need to take on some additional hands.
This role will involve bike fitting, admin and research. We find ways to learn and better explain and understand how humans interact with bikes on a daily basis, so our work is varied and sometimes you’ll question how it is actually “work”. A day of mountain biking can be classed as work in this job!
Pay is £19,200 per year ( 24 hr per week) Split between 3 and 5 days per week depending on circumstances.
We are offering a generous 10 weeks holiday per annum ( compulsory two weeks must be taken at Christmas) to allow for cycling trips or time with family or friends. So those who have training goals, childcare needs and/or a quest for adventure can still apply.
Experience
We require no previous bike fitting experience, but great communication skills , a keen eye for human movement, an open mind and an aptitude to learn are a must. Training will be provided with a clear structure of constant CPD over the year as well as professional mentorship.
Essential
Confidence in basic bike mechanics is a must. The role will involve removing components and re-fitting them to the correct torque and alignment. However, skills like bleeding brakes or similar are not required.
An obsession with bicycles is of course a non-negotiable. However more importantly is an obsession with helping other people ride their bikes.
Desirable
A background in sports science, engineering, coaching, strength and conditioning, physical therapy or similar is desirable but we encourage those with other backgrounds to apply.
Working week
Hours can be negotiated within the restrictions of the bike shop we lease space from. We typically offer services between 9:30am and 5pm and can currently offer appointments Monday to Saturday. We can offer up to 24 hours per week. There is an option to split that over 3, 4 or 5 days depending on circumstances.
Roles and Responsibilities
Managing client’s bike fitting appointments from booking to follow-up.
Keeping detailed records of the conversations and changes to clients’ equipment
Liaising with repair workshops and other sports professionals ( physios, chiropractors, S&C coaches)
Creating BikeCAD drawings on clients' current or future bikes
Creating custom insoles using various techniques
Organising the studio space and keeping it clean and tidy
How to apply
Please email us your CV ( though please don’t feel the need to tailor it to this job), your social media / LinkedIn profile if you feel it adds value and a cover letter of 400 words or less detailing your background and your experience with getting your own bikes to fit you in the past.
