An Update on our Current Vacancies

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Please Note: these positions have now closed

You may have noticed that this year we have been advertising for several vacancies. We have been expanding our workforce over the last twelve months to ensure we can provide our customers with a fast, efficient service.

We have fulfilled many of our vacancies, but we have opened several more positions in the last couple of weeks. These are:

Trainee Tiara & Jewellery Maker

A highly sought-after position, this opportunity requires hard work, but is very rewarding. Knowing that you have created a beautiful headdress or jewellery for the most important day of someone’s life is a brilliant feeling. You can read more about what the job requires and the key skills you need to have on our careers page.

Assistant to Sales Co-ordinator

Office Role

This is a part-time role, perfect for an organised person who loves to speak to others on the phone. As our sales department has been expanding (more on that in the next couple of weeks!) this role has been created to ensure that our customers are getting the support they need, and plenty of opportunity to have the right products in their shops. For more information on this role and how to apply, see our careers page.

Of course, we are always open to hearing from people that feel they have something to offer the company. You are always welcome to send your CV and a covering letter to our human resources manager Nicola Cole. See how to do this on our careers page.
