Love2shop (https://www.love2shop.co.uk) is a business bringing vitality to the world of reward and recognition, helping people to celebrate the moments that matter most - at home, in work, at play, or anywhere at all, really.



We do that by helping people to offer the gift of choice. With an incredible range of gift cards and vouchers, Love2shop lets lucky recipients open the door to hundreds of top high street brands and retailers - and go spending! They can do that in-store or online.



Sometimes we work in the consumer market, and sometimes we are all about business-to-business and insight data tells us that over 60% of the UK population recognises the Love2shop brand.


This year, Love2shop has been officially recognised as one of the UK's Best Places to Work by Great Places to Work. This means that we join other incredible brands acknowledged as UK companies which create warm, welcoming cultures where employees are looked after and given good opportunities to thrive and succeed.



We've been around for more than 55 years so you could say we really know our onions! But we're also forward-thinking and progressive having recently been acquired by UK-based company, PayPoint, so there are many exciting developments to look forward to. And this is where you might feel your eyebrow twitching? Because we've got our recruitment radar tuned in for a new team member - someone to help us build our future vision for Love2shop. We would love you - no pun intended - to be part of our Love2shop journey.



As a disability-confident committed company, we have a passion for championing equality. We welcome all colleagues into a work environment where success is attainable for everyone, regardless of disability, age, race, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation. We are committed to ensuring that everyone has equal access to growth and opportunities in our workplace.


If you love people and want to belong to a team that champions good, strong values, you'll thrive in Love2shop. So, what's holding you back? Send us your CV and covering letter today and leave the rest to us!
