Established in 1870, Holland & Barrett has been trusted for wellness for over 150 years and has an omnichannel retail presence of more than 1000 stores across 18 countries worldwide, including over 800 in the UK and Ireland.

Our mission is to be the leading player in global wellness, chosen by millions as their trusted partner for personalised wellness journeys. To achieve this goal, we are embarking on a radical transformation.

We are investing across all areas of our business to empower our customers to live happier, healthier lives.

We have exciting growth plans and a clear roadmap to transform the business into a best-in-class, omnichannel Global business and end-to-end health and wellness provider, underpinned by considerable investment.

Now we need more brightest and best minds to join us to turn our vision into reality.

On 8th September 2022, we opened Ireland’s largest flagship for Holland & Barrett. We saw the addition of two consultation rooms and a wide range of health foods, vitamins and supplements, sports nutrition and natural beauty products.

Customers can now experience new wellness services, with a team of ‘Qualified to Advise’ colleagues and a Wellness Expert available to offer personalised support as H&B look to help its customers be more proactive in managing their health.

Services include a selection of diagnostic tests as well as biometric testing and BMI analysis. Sports and fitness enthusiasts will be able to benefit from nutrition advice as well as access to Les Mills subscriptions which will be on offer in the new look store.

Terri Dougal, Director of Stores in Ireland for Holland & Barrett, says, “Over recent years and especially since the pandemic, we’ve seen a rise in people looking for help to support their physical and mental wellness. Through a combination of advice, diagnostic services and a curated range of wellness products, it’s now easier than ever for our customers in Dublin to get the support they need to achieve their personal wellness goals.

The rest of the stuff you have to do in the job would deflate your passion for nutr...

The training is interesting.Overall, it's a good place to work and every person I m...
