For the chilly time of year, I’m on the hunt in home textiles for a blanket with talent. One that’ll play an active role in shaping my living room and keeping me warm. Read on for the full job description.

Cosy Atmosphere Manager (Full-time, Seasonal)

What you’ll bring to the table

  • University degree or equivalent in being folded
  • Strong communication skills and a stylish appearance i.e. expressive pattern and colours
  • The ability to bring a gentle touch to professional situations: soft surface, cotton, wool or cashmere blend
  • Experience in wrapping around and keeping warm up to two people
  • Resilience: you won’t fray at the seams when demand is high
  • Ability to think outside the box, should you be required to support colleagues in other departments of the home

What you’ll do

  • You’ll be responsible for keeping your client(s) warm for hours at a time while they read, undertake Netflix marathons or talk on the phone
  • You’ll ensure the smooth running of our Cosy Atmosphere department
  • You’ll lend the living room a splash of colour
  • You’ll excel when folded or spread out – and look good doing it
  • You’ll skilfully handle being draped over the sofa in a sophisticated manner – and will under no circumstances fall to the floor
  • You’ll play an active role in supporting the Bedspread and Wall Decoration teams
The right candidate will be able to occasionally fill in as a bedspread…
