Job Description:

We are currently recruiting for full-time Retail Assistant roles in our new London stores. Whilst previous retail experience is required, a comprehensive optical training will be provided for this position.

bloobloom was created to change the way people buy their glasses by rebuilding the entire experience. In a market populated by dinosaurs, we’re putting design and technology back at the heart of the process of buying a pair of glasses, making the journey fun and exciting without costing a small fortune.

At bloobloom, we also want the right choice to be as easy as wearing a great pair of glasses. That’s why we only partner with ethical factories, we are climate neutral certified, and we donate a pair to someone in need for every pair we sell.

We love our customers and want to make a personal connection with everyone that reaches out to us. Beyond the statement, our team has the freedom and means to get creative and go beyond meeting basic customer expectations, in each and every conversation. Our goal is simple. 100% WOW.
