Job description

THE BAMFORD COLLECTION IS A GROUP OF CONSCIOUSLY MINDED LIFESTYLE BRANDS COMMITTED TO NOURISHING AND NURTURING PEOPLE AND PLANET.

Bamford is a philosophy rather than a seasonal fashion label. It began with the passionate convictions of our founder Carole Bamford to make natural products using the best artisans from around the world. Bamford was founded on the belief that we need to be mindful of our connection to the earth – to live consciously, respect nature’s resources, and the land that provides for us. We believe in nurturing body, mind, and spirit in tandem – to feel well and to feel happy, the three need to be aligned and in harmony.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our Bamford family is growing, and we are looking for an experienced and passionate Part-time Retail Sales Associate to join us at our beautiful spa at the Daylesford Farm, Gloucestershire.

We will train and develop you every step of the way to be the best you can be, with the opportunity to build your career with us.

As a Retail Sales Associate, you will ensure all customers receive a 5-star service whilst in the Wellness Space. You will learn and maintain a high level of product knowledge to proactively engage with clients and maximize sales.

4. Promote products that align with the spa’s offerings and guests' wellness needs.
5. Maintain accurate stock levels and order inventory as needed. Ensure that all retail products are stored properly, rotated for freshness, and that inventory records are up to date.
6. Create stunning product displays that reflect the spa’s luxury brand and attract guests.
7. Ensure all products are displayed neatly and according to brand guidelines.
8. Work closely with spa therapists and management to create synergies between treatments and products.
9. Attend training sessions to stay updated on the latest products and spa services.
10. Uphold and enhance the spa's reputation as a luxury destination by representing the brand in a polished, professional manner at all times.
