Home & Gift Jobs of the Week
Helping people find their next role, and helping our members find the skills they need.
30 October 2026
Your next opportunity could be closer than you think
Looking for work can feel daunting, whether you are facing a change you did not choose, returning after a break or ready for a fresh start. Our industry depends on people with a wide range of skills — and we want to make it easier for those people and the businesses that need them to find each other.
This week, we have brought together roles advertised by our members, grouped by the kind of work involved. You will find the company, location and advertised pay alongside a link to the application or further details.
Start with the section that fits your experience, then explore neighbouring roles too. Skills such as customer service, organisation, teamwork, stock management and building relationships can be useful in more than one part of the industry. Some opportunities offer training; others require specialist experience or qualifications.
How to use this roundup: click a job title to apply or read the employer’s advert. Not advertised means a salary was not published in the information available. Annual salaries for fixed-term roles are annual rates, rather than total contract pay.
Closing today, 30 October: Paladone’s Head of Global Marketing in Shoreham-by-Sea (hybrid; competitive salary) and NEC Group’s Senior Digital Marketing Manager in Birmingham (hybrid; £52,000–£55,000 a year, five-month contract). Check these first if they match your experience.
