About this role

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 face of the store, welcoming customers and providing a fun, engaging shopping experience. You’ll use your product knowledge to offer personalised recommendations, perform product demonstrations, and hand out tailored samples. Working closely with your team, you’ll help drive sales, exceed targets, and create memorable in-store events that keep customers coming back. You'll also manage stock, ensure the shop floor looks its best, and adapt displays to seasonal trends. 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. Key Information Hours available: 8-hour contract with lots of overtime opportunities, especially during our busiest seasons & even a possibility to increase contracted hours during the winter season.

If successful following the Recruitment Evening you will be contacted by end of day Friday 4th September 2026 with an invite to a trial shift on one of the listed trial shift dates. If you’re unavailable for these dates, unfortunately we won’t be able to progress your application this time, but we’d absolutely love for you to keep an eye out for future opportunities with us 💚 Interview/Trial Shift Dates: Saturday 5th September - Sunday 6th September 2026 Training + Induction Week: Week commencing 7th September 2026 Start Date: Week commencing 7th September 2026 End Date: 31st December 2026.
