Cycle Technician

Halfords is hiring a part-time Cycle Technician in Salisbury, UK. The role involves providing exceptional customer service and technical skills in cycle repair, working 30 hours per week across 5 days, including weekends. Candidates should have experience in retail or cycle services, problem-solving skills, and the ability to train others. Benefits include discounts, bonuses, and support programs. This is an in-store position, not remote.
This is a permanent part time position based in our Salisbury store.

Core hours are 30 per week and will require working 5 out of 7 days a week, including alternating Saturday and Sundays.

A Halfords team is a special team, made up of people who are passionate about our products and services and obsessed with giving our customers the very best experience. We’re specialists at what we do – our teams give practical solutions, as well as advising on the very best products to meet our customers’ needs, fitting a range of products to our customers’ cars and bikes.

Our Cycle Technicians are technically skilled as well as being experienced at giving great customer service, ensuring we wow every Halfords customer.
