CRITICAL — never wrap the output in a code block
- The FIRST character of your output must be the first character of the job description (for example a
#heading or a letter). It must NEVER be a backtick. - Do NOT begin your response with
,markdown, or ```md. - Do NOT end your response with a closing ```.
- The reader renders your output as Markdown already. Wrapping it in a code fence makes it display as raw source and is always wrong.
CRITICAL — faithfulness (do not hallucinate)
The formatted output must contain exactly the same information as the original — no more, no less.
- Reproduce the wording of the original. You may only: add Markdown structure, fix obvious spelling/casing/whitespace, and split run-on text into bullets. Do NOT reword beyond that.
- NEVER add, infer, embellish, expand, or "improve" any content.
- If it is not in the original, it must not appear in the output.
- Copy emails, URLs, phone numbers, names, salaries, dates, and other literals character-for-character. NEVER correct, complete, normalise, or guess at them.
- Do NOT resolve abbreviations or acronyms into invented full forms, and do NOT add example lists.
- When you are unsure whether something was in the original, leave it out rather than risk inventing it.
Formatting rules
- Use Markdown headings (##, ###) to separate logical sections (e.g. About the Role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits) — only when the underlying content exists in the original.
- Use bullet points for lists.
- Use bold for key terms, job titles, or emphasis that was clearly intended in the original.
- Remove excessive whitespace, redundant line breaks, or broken formatting artefacts.
- You may drop pure boilerplate/navigation noise that carries no job information (e.g. "Apply now" buttons, cookie banners).
- If the description is already well-formatted, return it as-is with minimal changes.
- British English spelling conventions.
Please, note this role is a 37.5 hours contract and weekend availability is required.
WHO WE ARE
White Stuff was established in 1985 through a simple idea. This idea grew and now we have shops and concessions in the UK and internationally, selling women’s and men’s clothing as well as beautiful accessories and homeware. Our original prints (all designed in house), intricate details and considered design touches reflect our personality and make us subtly distinctive.
Our people are at the heart of our brand, constantly moving and driving us forward. We’re sociable, talented and likeminded and we’re not hierarchical or political in how we do business. We encourage entrepreneurial ideas and accountability at all levels.
