We’re shaking up the beauty scene, and as a Boots Beauty Specialist, you’ll be right at the centre of it. You’ll be the go-to expert across skincare, makeup and haircare—getting to know your customers, understanding what they need, and guiding them to products that genuinely work for them.
What You’ll Be Doing
This isn’t your typical retail role.
- You’ll be based in one of our vibrant Beauty Halls, working across premium and luxury brands to offer honest, unbiased advice—whether it’s a cult favourite, a new launch, or a trending product.
- It’s all about creating feel-good moments, building trust, and helping every customer leave feeling their best.
- You’ll report to the Beauty Assistant Manager, work toward sales targets as part of a supportive team (no individual commission—just shared success).
- With a generous product allowance, you’ll have the chance to try premium products yourself.
Key Responsibilities
- Work across all premium and luxury brands, offering unbiased recommendations
- Meet sales targets as part of a supportive team (no commission pressure)
- Create a standout customer experience through natural, confident conversations
- Bring new products, offers, and launches to life in-store
- Keep the beauty hall and counters looking their best—clean, stocked, and ready to explore
- Build expertise through:
- Hands-on brand training
- Comprehensive online learning
- Our famous in-person and virtual events and conferences
- Get involved in social content, in-store events, and campaigns
