Bra Fitter & Events Co-ordinator - Part/Full Time

Events Co-ordinator

We have an exciting opportunity for someone to join our successful bra fitting events and experience team, up to 35 hours per week. We have a unique contract with the British Army, to fit and supply all new female recruits with properly fitting, high impact sports bras for their basic training. This requires us to visit five training centres across the UK, for approximately 40 fittings a year. Alongside this, we have several public fitting events throughout the year, and we need someone up for the challenge to lead these events.

We are looking for someone who has a passion and interest in sport and women's health, who can lead our external and virtual fitting events. This sector of our business is crucial to our success and is vital to our brand values and beliefs.

You do not need previous bra fitting experience, just a can-do attitude and willingness to learn – all training will be done in house.

This role is ideal for someone looking for a leadership and events role, who enjoys delivering exceptional customer service and has excellent communication and organisational skills. This is very much a role that involves being always around the action, and the ideal candidate will embrace this unique opportunity.

The Role:

• Responsible for leading all fitting events for our commercial contracts, managing your team of fitters on the day to ensure it runs smoothly, efficiently, professionally and with personal care for the women being fitted.
• There are approximately 40 fitting events per year. These are usually carried out in a day, with 3-hour drives to location. You must be a confident driver for this role, and comfortable with long, yet rewarding days!
• You must be flexible in your schedule (all fitting dates are provided in advance but can be subject to change).
• Support the Brand Manager to actively develop and expand our mobile and virtual fitting service to more people and clients.

Who we are:

We are boobydoo, the UK’s Sports Bra Experts. We provide women with the support they need to tackle their exercise goals without having to worry about their breasts. We have been in business for sixteen years and offer unparalleled expertise and knowledge, paired with the largest range of sizes and styles of sports bras available in the UK.

Our mission is to provide all active women with their perfect sports bra, so to do this effectively, we need to listen and be attentive to our customer’s needs, using our product and fitting knowledge to help them make the right choice.

Our dedication to seeking perfection and striving for more has led us to expand our business significantly over the last three years to include six sports bra and lingerie retail websites, fittings with Paralympic sports teams, Premier League Rugby Clubs, and a commercial contract with the British Army. These developments mean we are always looking for ambitious people, who are as enthusiastic about women’s sport and breast health as we are!

At boobydoo, our mission is to find the perfect fit for every active woman, no matter her size or activity she is taking part in. Since boobydoo was created, we’ve helped over 100,000 women find the perfect fit.

Sports bras are proven to reduce bounce by up to 83%, and yet 41% of women still don’t wear a sports bra to exercise, and 80% are wearing the wrong size bra to start with.

We are here to change these statistics and provide women with the education and choice they need to give their boobs some real support.
