At Piglet in Bed, we're on a mission to become the home of long-lasting, natural comfort. Dreamt up in 2017 from our Founder Jess' garden shed in West Sussex, Piglet in Bed began with a simple idea: the best homes aren’t perfect, they’re personal. What started as a small collection of linen bedding has grown to include new fabrics and unmistakably ‘Piglet’ designs, complemented by our curated selection of sleepwear and homewares. But one thing hasn’t changed: our focus on the incredible team who make Piglet happen. As our team grows, we still like to keep the calendar full of socials, competitions, and chances to see each other. Teamwork is at the heart of everything we do, so we're very excited that you're considering joining us!

What you'll be getting up to:

• You’ll support the Store Manager in ensuring all minimum brand standards are achieved as well as creating a first class customer experience.
• You’ll build great relationships with other store colleagues, and liaise regularly with the core Piglet team to ensure you’re up to date, and feeding back important updates.
• You’ll become an expert on our product range, engaging with shoppers to answer queries, give advice and share inspiration. You’ll familiarise yourself with the brand story and deliver consistently on brand guidelines.
• You’ll embody the Piglet brand, and make our customers feel at home within our stores, and excited to buy into the brand.
• You’ll help us learn more about our in store shoppers.
• You’ll support the Store Manager in maintaining our physical space; both delivering on brand visual guidelines and ensuring cleanliness and health and safety requirements are met.
• You’ll maximize sales by building great relationships with customers, and sharing your product knowledge and suggestions

Who we're looking for:

•  You’ll need to be a real people person; the kind to put a smile on shoppers’ faces, even if they don’t make a purchase.
• You’ll need to be self motivated and proactive, keeping busy even when the store is not.
• Communication is essential in this role, as a distributed team, we need to ensure information and ideas are free flowing.
• You’ll need to have a passion for our products; at PiB we love playful colours and creating bold combinations to suit individual tastes. We’re looking for someone who can listen to shoppers and confidently make product suggestions.
  
  What it's like to work at Piglet in Bed:

• You’ll be part of a small team still in the relatively-early days of our retail journey, so you’ll really have the ability to make your mark, and grow within the company.
• Your store will have budget for regular social events (and we don’t just mean a pint after work – so far we’ve done yoga, pottery making and hiking to name a few!). You’ll also be invited to socials with the whole team, with travel and accommodation included.
• You’ll receive 50% discount on our products, alongside extra gifts on your birthday and anniversaries.
• You’ll get access to our high street voucher discount platform, as well as our wellbeing platform, where you can earn up to £30/month in vouchers for participating in wellbeing activities.
• You’ll be eligible for life assurance at 1x salary.
• You’ll get 33 days holiday per year (pro rata), with minimal restrictions on when you can use it
