Inverness, United Kingdom The Works Full time

We don’t just sell products. We inspire reading, learning, creativity and play.

You sell the paint that turns someone into an artist. You provide the book that unleashes an inner author. You supply the games that help bring families together. You give someone the puzzle book that reconnects them with a late family member’s memory.

You never know who someone will become. So with your passion, and our products, you will help ignite the spark within people, allowing them to unleash their creativity, find new passions, hobbies, or rekindle fond memories.

The unseen possibilities are limitless, and it all starts with you.

• Deliveries: Become a puzzle-master as you manage heavy deliveries, price & label products like a pro, sort items onto shop floor displays, and make sure the stockroom is as snug as a Christmas stocking

• Have fun Be your best, authentic elf-self and embrace the opportunity to connect with our brand, colleagues, and customers. Have a jolly good time making the store a twinkling wonderland to visit and work
