Job description

**Please note:** We may close this vacancy early if we receive an overwhelming response or our business requirements change. We appreciate that AI is a useful tool but we would like you to respond to the questions in your own words. AI generated responses may be discarded. **This is a temporary seasonal role until 31st December 2026.** **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:** 24 hours per week **Availability:** We require **4 full days availability** for this role which must include at least 1 weekend day. This means you are free for any shifts during that day. As this is a seasonal position, we will require candidates to be available across December and able to commit to either Christmas Eve or Boxing Day. **Application Deadline:** 17th September 2026 **Interview Date:**Recruitment Evening Monday 21st September 6:30-8pm Recruitment Day Tuesday 22nd September 10-11:30am ***Alternative interview dates are unavailable.*** **Start Date:** Thursday 1st October 10-4:30pm for induction ***Alternative induction dates are unavailable.***
