Current Vacancies 

We’re on the lookout for a part time proactive and detail-oriented Sales & Customer Support Assistant to join our small but mighty team at Caravan Connection, a locally owned caravan dealership based in Palmerston, Otago starting in the new year 2026. 

In this role, you’ll be the go-to person supporting our team and helping our customers with their caravan, parts, and accessory enquiries, both in-store and online. From processing retail sales and responding to customer questions, to helping with website listings, email campaigns, and stock management, you’ll play an important part in keeping everything running smoothly.

If you’re organised, tech-savvy, and enjoy working in a friendly, hands-on environment, this could be the role for you.

 

Key Responsibilities

• Day to day administration, deal with insurance claims etc.
   

• Respond to customer enquiries in-store, over the phone, and via email or social media.
   

• Process and follow up on sales orders, quotes, and online or retail enquiries.
   

• Keep customer and product information up to date across our systems including Wix, Facebook, and our inventory tools.
   

• Assist with updating and maintaining listings on our website, Trade Me, and Facebook.

• Liaise between the sales, workshop, and admin teams to ensure smooth communication and great customer service.
   

• Identify and resolve any issues that may affect customer experience or sales operations.
   

• Bring fresh ideas, enthusiasm, and a go-getter attitude to the team.
   

 

What We’re Looking For

• A fun, relaxed, and well presented and kind person who will fit into our small family business.
   

• Someone reliable and approachable who’s happy to jump from creating marketing campaigns in the office to helping wash down caravans when needed.
   

• A team player who enjoys varied work.
   

• Strong communication and customer service skills.
   

• Good computer skills and confidence using systems like Wix or Shopify, Excel, Facebook, Trade Me, and email platforms.
   

• High attention to detail and great organisational skills.
   

• A friendly, can-do attitude and willingness to pitch in wherever needed.
   

• Experience in retail, sales support, or admin is a bonus, but we’re happy to train the right person.
