Seasonal Stock Assistant, Student Opportunity, No Experience

Overview

Description

Diversity matters: Lush is building a brand that represents the people of the world. It’s what you do that counts, and Lush is always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape Lush's future. Lush see you, Lush celebrate you, Lush want you!

Who Lush is: You might know Lush as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there’s more to this great-smelling, partly employee-owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. Lush believe Lush's 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 Lush is proud to commit to in the UK. As an accredited Living Wage employer, Lush put Lush's 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.
