Want your work to feel meaningful, ethical, and part of something bigger than yourself?
This is a unique hybrid role, split between hands-on warehouse operations and creative social media content creation—no two days are the same.
We are EcoIncense, an eco-friendly incense and gifts company with a simple mission:
Compassion. Community. Sustainability.
Every product we sell is chosen with care — hand-rolled incense, ethical supply chains, and plastic-free, cardboard-only packaging. We are a small, values-driven team who believe livelihood should be good for people, good for the planet, and a source of mindful growth.
Now we're looking for someone who shares these values to join our warehouse and help us grow — as part of a supportive team committed to ethical and purposeful work.
What you'll do (as practice and service):
* Receive, pick, pack, and dispatch customer orders with mindfulness and care.
* Keep stock records accurate (barcode/location updates in system).
* Take clear, appealing product photos for our online shop and social media.
* Help manage our Instagram and TikTok accounts (posting 2–3 times/week).
* Create simple, engaging content using phone photography or Canva.
* Keep the warehouse organised, tidy, and eco-friendly.
* Work as part of a team that values cooperation, kindness, and shared purpose.
Training & Progression:
* First 3 months are a training / probation period (paid at £11.44/hr).
* You'll be trained in both warehouse systems and social media processes.
* On successful completion, the rate increases to £12.50/hr (~£24k/year).
What we're looking for:
* Reliable, detail-oriented, and proactive.
* Comfortable using computer systems (training provided).
* Basic photography and social media skills.
* A positive, can-do attitude and a genuine passion for ethical, eco-friendly living.
* An interest in mindfulness, community, or Buddhist-inspired values is a big plus.
* Someone who sees work as more than just a job — as a way to contribute, practise, and grow.
You'll thrive here if you...
* Enjoy working with a team that supports one another like a community.
* Love the idea of a job where you balance hands-on tasks with creative expression.
* Believe that work can be meaningful, ethical, and mindful.
* Get a sense of satisfaction from sending out a perfectly packed, sustainable order.
Why join us:
* Progression from £11.44/hr to £12.50/hr within 3 months.
* Be part of a growing eco-business rooted in compassion, community, and sustainability.
* Work in a friendly environment where values matter as much as results.
* Opportunity to develop skills across warehouse operations, teamwork, and digital marketing.
* Make your livelihood part of your practice: every order we ship is done sustainably, with care for people and planet.
