THE BAMFORD COLLECTION IS A GROUP OF CONSCIOUSLY MINDED LIFESTYLE BRANDS COMMITTED TO NOURISHING AND NURTURING PEOPLE AND PLANET. 

Bamford is a philosophy rather than a seasonal fashion label. It began with the passionate convictions of our founder Carole Bamford to make natural products using the best artisans from around the world. Bamford was founded on the belief that we need to be mindful of our connection to the earth – to live consciously, respect nature’s resources and the land that provides for us. We believe in the need to nurture body, mind and spirit in tandem – to feel well and to feel happy the three need to be aligned and in harmony.

ABOUT THE ROLE

At the Bamford Collection, creativity is rooted in nature, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for how things are made. As Head of Creative, you will play a pivotal role in bringing the Daylesford and Daylesford Stays brands to life across every touchpoint.

Working in close partnership with the Creative Director, you will translate creative vision into beautifully executed, high-quality work leading the day-to-day creative output across campaigns, content, retail, hospitality, digital, and print. You will guide creative production from concept to delivery, shaping how our brands are seen, felt, and experienced by our customers and guests.

This is a highly collaborative role, sitting at the heart of the business. You’ll manage creative workflows, inspire and support a talented in-house team, and work closely with marketing, e-commerce, retail, hospitality, and external partners to ensure every piece of creative work reflects our values, meets business objectives, and upholds the distinctive Daylesford aesthetic.

If you are a strategic creative leader with a strong eye for detail, a passion for storytelling, and a love of purposeful brands, this is an opportunity to make a lasting impact within a values-led, design-conscious organisation.

This is a fulltime role 40 hours per week and based at our London office 5 days a week.
