Do you enjoy serving people and love being in the kitchen? Can you keep calm when things get really busy?
If you are confident with social media and computer work that would be a real bonus too!
If that sounds like you, have you thought about working with us? We’d love to meet you.
Pop in to see Sally when we reopen on 20th January, or if you can’t wait, send us your CV or an email telling us about your experience and why you’d be right for the role. (sally@thelostsheepcaterham.com)
Please don’t use AI, we want to hear the real you, not what a bot thinks sounds good!
Make sure you’ve read the job basics and how to apply before applying. Days and hours are flexible, but this isn’t a Saturday job for college students 😊 Due to the number of messages we get we are unable to reply to enquiries on social media or by phone.
We’re looking forward to meeting our next team member!
A love of people, gifts... and cake
At the lost sheep we love people. We love community. We love chatting and getting to know our customers.
We love the gifts we sell; we love choosing them, unpacking the deliveries, displaying them, having them in our own homes, seeing peoples faces light up when they see just the thing they've been looking for, and hearing the giggles at the signs and cards. We love locally made items, we love quirky, and we love sensible too, and if we didn't love it, we wouldn't sell it.
Not forgetting cake – we love homemade cake! Our tea shop is Caterham’s best kept secret – we’re working on that!
We were incredibly proud to be awarded the Best Customer Service Award in the 2025 Tandridge Business Award. This followed on from our success in 2024 when we were awarded Best High Street Business in Tandridge. These are real honours that recognise the hard work and heart we put into everything we do at The Lost Sheep.
To make the year even more special, our wonderful customers voted us Muddy Stilettos Best Lifestyle Store in Surrey for the second year running! That kind of support is something we’ll never take for granted – thank you so much for being part of our journey.
From the beginning, The Lost Sheep was built on a love for people, community, and meaningful connection. We love getting to know our customers – the chats, the laughter, the shared moments. Whether you pop in for a thoughtful gift, a bit of inspiration, or a slice of homemade cake, you're part of something special.
We take pride in every gift we stock – carefully chosen, joyfully unpacked, and lovingly displayed. We only ever sell things we truly believe in: clever, quirky, beautiful, practical, and often locally made – if we don’t love it ourselves, it doesn’t go on the shelf.
And of course, we love our tea shop – our cosy little corner filled with homemade cakes, good coffee, and even better company.
Thank you again to everyone who helped make 2025 such a special chapter in our story.
