Senior Training Manager - Spa & Retail
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, we are committed to creating products and experiences that nurture the body and mind while respecting the planet. As our wholesale partnerships continue to grow across the UK and internationally, we are seeking an experienced and inspiring Senior Training Manager to lead the development and delivery of world-class spa and retail training across our partner network.
This exciting role will play an integral part in elevating brand standards globally, ensuring our partners deliver an exceptional client experience aligned with the Bamford philosophy. Flexibility to travel internationally is essential.
This is a fulltime role 40 hours per week and based at the Daylesford Farm office 5 days a week.
