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 Team
The Lush product Development team is a dynamic group with expertise in developing and manufacturing the products we’re known for. The Machine Shop is a growing part of this team, focusing on designing and machining tooling and equipment for various manufacturing needs. This includes vacuum form tooling, injection moulds, and other custom projects that help Lush’s manufacturing process by improving our products' efficiency, quality, and safety.
The department currently has a Mazak CV5-500 5-axis machining centre. It is young, but it has been a great success, so we are hoping to expand in the near future. We are looking for someone who thrives in a problem-solving environment, has a can-do attitude, and can support the team in driving innovation and continuous improvement. We want someone who wants to get involved with all aspects of CNC machining, and we are willing to provide on-site and off-site training to skill you up.
Please note: We may close this vacancy early if we receive an overwhelming response or our business requirements change.
