Who We Are
At LUSH cosmetics, we believe in making effective products from fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, the finest essential oils and safe synthetics. We aim to leave the world Lusher than we found it; and at the LUSH SPA, we’re passionate about improving your sense of well-being, so you can feel your best self. We believe our spa treatments are more than skin deep; they’re a vital self-care ingredient.
Our warm inviting spas are an oasis of calm, allowing time and space away from a busy world to relax and rejuvenate. Each Lush Spa treatment is an immersive experience, inviting you to enjoy the unexpected. Using a multi-sensory holistic approach, including soothing touch, visual displays, beautiful fragrances, and bespoke, crafted music made by Lush Fresh Handmade Sound, each treatment has a transformative effect, bringing you back into a state of peace and balance.
Who We Are Looking For

From time to time, you may be required to work in other stores, or to travel to training sessions, cover treatments in other spas, meetings or events - which may require an overnight stay. Working from home isn’t permitted.
