Job Description
Company description
We're a small, luxury accessories brand, designing and handcrafting modern headpieces for weddings, red carpet events and special occasions. Using couture techniques, colour, texture and crystals, we create chic, elegant accessories with an edgy twist. Our design studio and showroom is based in a grade 2 listed building on the outskirts of Burnham, Buckinghamshire (10 minutes drive from Windsor).
Job description
We have an exciting opportunity for someone to join our small, dynamic and friendly team to support and assist in the making of our luxury handmade headpieces and jewellery during our peak season. This is a hands-on creative role which will involve wire-work and sewing for 3 days a week on a 3 month fixed term contract with the possibility to extend for the right candidate.
Full training will be given and jewellery making skills are not a requirement, however someone with a creative flair or a background fashion or textiles would be ideal. This would be the perfect role for a student or graduate to gain some experience within a small, luxury brand where they would be exposed to all areas of the business from hands-on creative making, to operations, to logistics and social media.
Experience of sewing by hand or machine, and social media marketing are ideal, and due to the hands-on nature of the role the selection process would involve a working interview to assess basic skills and the ability to learn our processes.
Duties will include:
Basic product construction and jewellery making, stock taking, basic social media support (including reels) and general studio assistance duties.
Applicants should have access to their own transport and live within a half an hour drive from our studio in Burnham, Buckinghamshire, SL1.
