Marketing Assistant Job Vacancy

Marketing Assistant Job Vacancy

We are a natural soap manufacturer based in Mytholmroyd, Hebden Bridge. Putting ethics before profits underpins everything here. Our products are vegan, cruelty-free and made by employees paid over the national living wage, without using plastic, preservatives or sulfates.

At Friendly Soap, our ethics drive everything we do. We started out in 2008 with a clear vision. We wanted to make products that were good for the planet, good for people and good for the future. Ever since then every single decision we have made has been subject to the same questions - does it harm the planet? Is it good for people? Will its short term benefit be at the long term cost of our planet’s health?

Ethics are never an afterthought, they have been built into the very fabric of our business and our products from the beginning. 

Our mission is to reduce the use of plastic, toxic chemicals and animal testing, by offering sustainable and affordable alternatives to traditional cleansing products.
