Seasonal Stock Assistant

Application Deadline: 18 October 2024

Department: Retail

Location: Bristol - Cabot Circus

Compensation: £12.00 / hour

Description

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
Seasonal Delivery Assistants work at the beginning of our business day - ensuring our product displays are fresh and full, 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.

All hours will be between 6am and 10am - as such, you won't be on the shopfloor when our store is open to customers. Your paid training will be focused on:

• processing deliveries


• keeping an eye on stock rotation to reduce waste management


• visual merchandising

Key Information

Hours & Availability:
Deliveries are Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Delivery Assistants will work two or three shifts per week - meaning contracts will be between 8 and 12 hours per week. Overtime may be possible for ad-hoc deliveries, but it is not a requirement for you to be able to fulfil that.

Application Deadline: 18/10/24

Interview Date: Ongoing from 19/10/24

Start Date: Early November 2024

Temporary Contract End Date: 31/12/24
