Diversity matters
We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It\xe2\x80\x99s 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\xe2\x80\x99s 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\xe2\x80\x99s 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\xe2\x80\x99s inside that counts - whether that\xe2\x80\x99s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.

The role
Seasonal Stock Assistants work at the forefront of our business & ensure our products are fresh, and that we are maintaining our visual merchandising and cleanliness standards. We need you to be passionate, motivated and enthusiastic about showcasing our beautiful products. You need to be an excellent team player who is ready to hit the ground running to ensure our stock levels are maintained during our busiest time of the year.
