Job description

Seasonal Sales Assistant

Application Deadline: 21 October 2026

Department: Retail

Employment Type: Seasonal - Part Time

Location: High Wycombe

Compensation: GBP 13.45 / hour

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.

Contracts available: 4 available contracts at 10 hours per week

Application Deadline: Wednesday 21st October 2026

Application Outcome Date: Saturday 24th October 2026

Outcome: Tuesday 3rd November 2026

Start Date: W/C Monday 9th November 2026

End Date: Thursday 31st December 2026
