Work With Us - Careers at Lifestory

Current Openings, October 2025

ROLE 1: SALES ASSISTANT

Part-time, seasonal position. 

Details

We’re looking for an experienced Sales Assistant to join our small team for the busy festive period. You’ll bring retail experience (ideally from an independent or well-trained high street store) and a genuine love of great customer service.

You’ll be confident working to targets, managing stock and fulfilling orders, with strong attention to detail and a proactive, hands-on attitude. Experience with Shopify or similar POS is a bonus.

We are looking for someone who enjoys a fast-paced day and truly cares about the customer experience from start to finish.

What we offer

Competitive hourly rate, full statutory benefits, bonus potential, and generous staff discount within a supportive, design-led environment.

3-4 days per week (including regular weekend work) through the seasonal period to end Dec 2025. There is potential for the role to be made permanent. 

How to apply

Please apply with a CV by email to hello@lifestoryshop.com

In your email please include all days of the week that you have availability, which must include weekend days.

Start date is asap. We’ll begin interviews as applications come in - early applicants are encouraged. 

Please note: due to limitations of time and the number of applications we typically receive, we may be unable to get back to everyone. Responses will only be available for those candidates shortlisted for interview. 

ROLE 2: E-COM ASSISTANT - ENTRY LEVEL

3-4 shifts a week, 5 hours per shift.

Temporary position covering the 2025 festive period, includes weekend shifts. 

Details

A new role has opened up which may suit a junior or entry-level candidate, or someone who needs a shorter shift pattern. 

The role centres around online order fulfilment, which requires meticulous attention to detail. Previous experience in a stockroom, warehouse or other retail environment is helpful, but not essential.

You’ll have a genuine interest in retail and design, and a reliable, positive attitude. 

As a well-established, independent business, Lifestory offers real opportunity to learn and develop within a supportive team.

What we offer

Competitive hourly rate, full statutory benefits, bonus potential and generous staff discount within a supportive, design-led team environment.

Finally...

Lifestory is a living-wage employer and an equal opportunities business. 

The full renumeration package will be outlined with those invited to interview. 

As weekend work is central to the roles, and contracted in, if you don't have regular weekend availability between here and end December please do not apply.

Closing date for applications: 29 October 2025.

We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
