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
As our Hair Salon Manager at the Bamford Wellness Spa in the heart of the Cotswolds, you’ll take full ownership of our beautiful boutique 3-chair salon, based at Daylesford Farm. Leading by example, you’ll showcase your expertise in cutting and styling while inspiring, managing, and developing a talented team of two stylists.
This role is perfect for a confident leader who combines creative flair with commercial awareness. You’ll be responsible for delivering an exceptional client experience, maintaining the highest standards of service and presentation, and driving the salon’s operational and financial success.
If you’re passionate about hairdressing, thrive in a luxury wellness environment, and are excited by the opportunity to shape and grow a unique salon space, we’d love to hear from you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
