Job description
If you’re looking for a boring office job where you can hide behind your computer screen, then we’re not the place for you! Everyone who works for Team RH is an exceptional person, creative, hard-working and talented. We have incredibly high standards and are on the hunt for world-class people who’ll blow us away with their talent and passion.
Before we get to the good stuff, we have a couple of ground-rules we want to make clear:
- Interview attire is left to you to decide what you think is appropriate. If this is an issue, let us know and we’ll see you right.
- If you think that doing a virtual interview from your bed is acceptable, jog on.
- We don’t employ smokers - we’re a health and fitness company and everyone who joins us should be clued up enough to know that smoking isn’t good for you or your health.
- Arrive on time for your interview. Unless you have a valid excuse, we won’t wait around for anyone who can't do the basics.
- Zero toxicity. Our culture is the most important thing here and we won’t stand for anyone gossiping or being negative in work. We have incredible, kind and caring people working with us and we’ll protect them at all costs.
Some people will turn their noses up at the above - that’s fine, they can go and work somewhere else. However, if you’ve read up to here and you think you want to join a team of world-class, super-driven and kind-hearted people, then let’s get to the good bit…
