Job Overview
Our company is looking for a salon assistant/trainee beautician (no driving license required, I don't know why Indeed AI generates this requirement automatically). The afternoon and evening shift are already assigned to someone else, and we need someone to cover the morning shift. 6am to 12pm Sundays (6 hour) shift is available. If you can't do six hours in the morning, we would potentially accept a minimum of three hours, or even alternative Sunday mornings (i.e. you don't have to commit to every single Sunday morning if you don't want to).
Mandatory interview slots for either Sunday 7th or 14th September, between 1pm and 8pm, were still available at the time we initially posted this advert.
We prefer candidates with a CRB/DBS check, but can pay this for you if you do not have a recent one and you are successful at interview.
Main duties are:
Setting up and/or taking down signage and/or sample (for patch testing) products.
Acting as "receptionist" taking calls, answering queries and booking patch tests and appointments.
Completing patch tests (especially if the beautician is busy or not in the salon/clinic yet).
Observing and/or assisting during beauty treatments in salon/clinic beauty room (at the moment we are providing facials, waxing and/or makeup treatments. This range is expect to increase over time).
Treating client information in line with the data protection act, scanning and uploading securely to restricted access online records.
Handling cash and credit card transactions.
Offering water to clients waiting for their appointments.
Checking treatment product stocks, researching and making recommendations on ordering.
Keeping the salon clean and tidy and acting to remove/mitigate health or safety risks.
Keeping at home, and bringing in some salon equipment to work each week, in one travel suitcase-trolley only.
Already being part-qualified or trainee beautician is preferred, but not mandatory.
