The salary for this role is £13.56 per hour and up to £15.59 per hour across selected locations within London.

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.

It’s all about creating feel-good moments, building trust and helping every customer leave feeling their best.

You’ll report into the Beauty Assistant Manager and work towards 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.
