Blacks - Sales Assistant Part Time

We are Blacks and have been since 1863. We live and breathe the outdoors, from simple walks and technical hikes to arduous expeditions and intrepid exploration. Our aim has always been to make the outdoors as accessible as possible to everybody, ensuring that they have the right clothing and equipment for wherever their adventure takes them.

From our nautical based beginnings, we've grown to be one of the most recognisable names on the high streets in the UK. We've evolved to a point where our extensive range is available online, meaning we can equip likeminded enthusiasts with the best clothing, footwear and equipment across the world.
