**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. 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**
We’re looking for a passionate and proactive individual to join our Wareham based office team to help maintain and build our exciting and varied range of businesses The main area of the role will be finance based helping to support the day to day book-keeping for these companies as well helping to develop and bring ideas for business development.

**Finance Support**
- Processing and checking sales auto feeds to Xero
- Raising adhoc sales invoices
- Analise and release events income
- Processing orders from wholesale customers and web orders, despatching orders and raising invoices.
- Processing supplier invoices, making payments.
- Processing company creditcards
- Posting bank transactions, bank and petty cash reconciliations.
- Doing monthly stock takes, reconciliations and stock control

**In addition**:

- Answering the phone
- Support with events bookings and ticket sales.
- Opportunities to help promote and build each business
- Other Ad-hoc duties and general office support

Previous experience working within a finance role using Microsoft Excel and Xero would be an advantage but not essential. An interest in natural history and environmental topics would also be advantageous.

You should be able to work on your own initiative and also work well as part of a team in a fast paced environment.

**How to apply**:
If all this sounds like you, **please send us your CV and covering letter in one document**, detailing why you want to become a part of the cosmetic revolution.

**What’s it like working for Lush**

People are at the heart of our business. We want you to enjoy and challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know, so we’ve created a culture where your job description is a starting point, not an end goal. Our working style is flexible, fluid, supportive, and authentic - if you’ve got the drive to push yourself and try different things, you will have our support.
