H Samuel-Temporary Christmas Sales Associate (part time)

Christmas is a wonderful time in our stores. It’s a time when people with a real passion for quality customer service can help us create the perfect festive atmosphere: turning every moment into a sparkling, welcoming opportunity for Amazing Customer Experiences. Whether a customer is looking for jewellery, a watch or just ‘something special’, you’ll make sure they leave with it gift-wrapped.

Of course, Christmas isn’t just for customers. You’ll get something special from us, too. This is an opportunity to gain fantastic retail experience, learning quickly about our products and gaining some real jewellery expertise that you can share with customers. During Christmas, lots of customers come to our stores simply to browse – you’ll answer their questions, showcase our products and use your sales skills to help the team meet targets.

As the face of H. Samuel, we want you to reflect our brand, culture and customers. You certainly won’t find our Store team members suited and booted. Instead, we’re proud of our team’s unique personalities and to showcase this we have a fashion conscious, business casual dress code, which encourages our teams to celebrate their own tattoo’s, piercings and style!

Your background

You’ll have a passion for putting the customer first and creating memorable customer experiences. While you may not specifically have jewellery experience, you will certainly have an interest in jewellery products and brands. A positive, ‘can-do’ attitude is essential, with a natural ability for striking up a conversation with a diverse range of customers.

What’s next?

When you submit your application, you will be invited to complete a short online assessment.

If successful, you will be asked to complete a short video which gives you the opportunity to tell us a little more about you and why you would like to join us.

Successful applicants will be contacted by the store manager inviting you to the final stage interviews.

We recommend to regularly check your emails to ensure you don’t miss any updates with your application.
