Thank you for all the love on yesterday’s job post 🤍
We’re reviewing applications as they come in, but while we do, here’s why the Heima crew love working here:
✨ “It’s a real independent shop.”
You’re not a cog in a corporate machine. You’re part of a small team where your voice matters and your work makes a visible difference every day.
✨ “You’ll learn constantly.”
Maff’s a third-generation hardware shop owner who knows an unreasonable amount about lightbulbs, tea brewing, tool sharpening, paint chemistry, and about 4000 other useful things. You absorb knowledge whether you mean to or not.
✨ “No two days are the same.”
One minute you’re helping solve a lighting problem, the next you’re packing orders, cutting keys, or ordering paint for someone who fell in love with their tester pot.
✨ “The customers are brilliant.”
People choose independent shops on purpose. They come for the conversation, the expertise, and the human interaction. You get to be part of that.
✨ “You’re proud of where you work.”
Eco-friendly ethos, plastic-free packaging, quality products that last, fair prices, and proper customer service. It’s the kind of place you genuinely want to tell people you work at.
✨ “York matters to us.”
We’re proud to be part of and who are part of the fabric of this city and its independent community.
And the customers seem to agree 🤍
We’re 5⭐️ rated across Trustpilot, Google, and Facebook. That’s the standard we work to every day 😀
If you’ve applied already, we’ll be in touch soon.
If you’re still thinking about it, the job post is still live ✨
