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.

Hours available: 8 hours per week (with the opportunity for additional shifts closer towards the holidays).

Requirements: We require all staff to work either Christmas Eve or Boxing Day. If you cannot do either you will be removed from the process. Similarly, we cannot allow for annual leave to be taken in December. No staff holidays may take time off during this trading.

ALL APPLICANTS WILL NOT HEAR A RESULT UNTIL THE END OF THIS DEADLINE.

Interview Date: 20th or 21st of October. This will be a two hour group interview from 17:45-19:45. You will be required to be at the interview for the full duration.

Following a successful interview outcome: Training:
Week of the 26th of October.

Start Date: Week of the 26th of October.

We may close this vacancy early if we receive an overwhelming response or our business requirements change. Also please note that the use of AI to help complete this application will not help aid your application. We would rather hear from real people with real experiences. Your grammar or spelling will not change the outcome, so please do not pass your answers through any AI services.

Clear use of AI in your answers will result in a rejected application. This is the second wave of recruitment for the Wakefield store. We had over 600 applicants last month and imagine this turnout will be similar. Please bare with us as we get through applicants.
