Boots Beauty Specialist

Edinburgh, The Gyle Centre

Job Description

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.

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 trend everyone’s talking about. 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.

Key Responsibilities

• Work across all premium and luxury brands, offering unbiased recommendations
• Meet sales targets as part of a supportive team (no commission pressure here!)
• Create standout customer experiences 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 your expertise through hands-on brand training, comprehensive online learning and our famous in-person and virtual events and conferences
• Get involved in social content, in-store events and campaigns

What you’ll need to have (our must-haves)

• A real passion for beauty, skincare, haircare and helping people feel their best
• Confident to approach customers, start conversations and build connections
• The drive to meet and exceed sales goals
• Able to communicate clearly and understand people’s needs
• Curiosity and a proactive attitude to learning new techniques and products

It would be great if you also have

• Experience working in beauty retail or target-based roles
• A creative interest in creating social content

Where your brilliance can take you

There are endless possibilities here at Boots. You could step into a Senior Beauty Specialist or Beauty Assistant Manager role, explore our Beauty Training teams or store leadership, or even join our Nottingham-based Support Office. Wherever you want to go, we’ll support you to be brilliant with Boots and building a rewarding career.

Rewards designed for you

• Quarterly product allowance, up to £1000/year* (*subject to number of hours worked per week)

• Ongoing expert training from leading beauty brands and experts
• Boots Retirement Savings Plan
