Diversity matters
We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It’s what you do that counts, and we are always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape our future.
We see you, we celebrate you, we want you!
Who we are
You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there’s more to this great-smelling, partly employee-owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics.
We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good.
The Living Wage Foundation’s statement 'a hard day's work deserves a fair day's pay' is one that we are proud to commit to in the UK.
As an accredited Living Wage employer, we put our people first and fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that it is what’s inside that counts - whether that’s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.
The Role
In this role, you’ll be the magic behind the Christmas success, keeping the shop floor looking beautifully full, displays bountiful and visual merchandising eye catching for the passers by.
You'll manage stock levels, ensure the shop floor looks its best, and adapt displays to seasonal trends as well as handling deliveries, click and collect orders and stocktakes - you're essentially our magical elves that help make Christmas happen.
You will help keep the stockroom in line with Health and Safety standards and communicate best practice and any issues with Management and Sales team members to ensure the most effective flow of stock over the christmas months.
With flexible shifts, a competitive hourly rate based on the Living Wage, and opportunities for bonuses, you’ll be well-supported through training and development to grow your skills.
