H beauty is no normal beauty hall, with interactive playtables to try on the latest products, a Harrods gift shop, and a big pink bear for your Instagram pictures; we are focussed on the experience our customers have when they walk through our doors.


As we prepare for our busiest and most exciting time of year, we're looking for enthusiastic individuals to join our team as Festive Support Assistants on a 4-week fixed-term contract from the end of November until the end of December at H beauty Milton Keynes.


We are hiring for both full-time and part-time opportunities, making this an ideal role for candidates looking to gain experience in a luxury retail environment during the festive season.

About the Role


As a Festive Support Assistant, you'll provide flexible support across multiple areas of the store, helping our teams deliver a seamless and memorable customer experience during one of the busiest times of the year.


No two days will be the same. You may be supporting customers on the shop floor, replenishing stock, processing transactions at the tills, assisting with festive gifting, or ensuring our store remains beautifully presented and ready for trade.


You will:

  • Deliver exceptional customer service and create a welcoming environment for every customer.
  • Support customers with enquiries and product recommendations across beauty and gifting.
  • Operate tills and process transactions accurately and efficiently.
  • Replenish stock and maintain product availability across the store.
  • Support visual merchandising standards and maintain a beautifully presented shopping environment.
  • Assist with festive gifting services and seasonal activities.
  • Promote our My Beauty rewards programme and customer feedback initiatives.
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues across different areas of the business to support peak trading.

About You


We're looking for individuals who bring energy, enthusiasm and a positive attitude to everything they do.


You will have:

  • Experience in a customer-facing environment such as retail, hospitality, leisure or beauty.
  • A passion for delivering exceptional customer service.
  • Strong communication skills and confidence interacting with customers.
  • A flexible approach and willingness to support different areas of the store.
  • The ability to remain organised and positive in a fast-paced environment.
  • A collaborative mindset and strong team-working skills.
  • High personal standards, taking pride in your punctuality and professionalism.
  • Availability to work throughout the festive trading period, including weekends and peak trading days.
