WELCOME HOME, BOOK LOVER 🥹📚🫶

Careers

We're a small team at Paper and Word and we pride ourselves on our love for fantasy books and all things cosy.

We believe in romanticising the entire reading experience - from how you choose to read your book (kindle and audiobook friends, we see you!), your bookish accessories and to setting the scene.

We are an enthusiastic, joy spreading bunch and are always excited to chat to likeminded people who are interested in joining the team.

NOTE: We keep this page active to enable us to recruit in advance. Unless specified, the roles below do not have an immediate start. If you are looking for an immediate start role, please bear this in mind before applying.

What's it like being part of the team?

Personal

At P+W we encourage individuality - we want you to thrive as your true selves and spread that joy to our customers too! We will work with you to plan steps towards your dream career (even if it's not with us) and support you along the way.

We plan your work hours around the rest of your life and the team, ensuring everyone is living their best life outside of work, too.

Benefits

We'll always pay you the National Living Wage or higher. You'll get staff discount on all products we sell, and all books (whether held as stock or not!).

You can also have your pick of any proofs that we're sent, get free monthly ALC's (audiobook listening copies), and have a free ticket to any of our events.

We believe that your mental health is a priority, so we'll pay for your yearly Headspace subscription too.
