Chester, United Kingdom Lush Full time

**Description**:
**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**
Temporary Sales Assistants work at the forefront of our business & provide 5-star customer service during our busiest time of year. We need you to be passionate, motivated and enthusiastic about showcasing our beautiful products. You need to be an excellent team player who is ready to receive and give feedback to all members of the team to build on our skills.

You'll ask insightful questions to uncover the right products for each customer and showcase them through engaging product demonstrations. Support their buying decisions by asking questions to confirm interest and secure sales. Give shop tours through intelligent link sales, create bespoke routines and provide pampering sit-down consultations with decadent hand and arm massages as part of our daily work.
