• Plan and manage your area to ensure effective and productive coverage.
• Participate in ongoing training to stay up-to-date with industry trends and Kao's offerings.
• Act as a positive Brand Ambassador, representing Kao at industry events and supporting Kao Salon Division events when required.
• Complete all required reports and documentation accurately.

What We're Looking For:

• NVQ Level 3 in Hairdressing.
• Minimum 5 years of salon experience with proven expertise in hair colouring and hair care products.
• Experience in training others, with strong communication and problem-solving skills.
• Valid UK Driver's Licence.
• Highly organised, self-motivated, and professional with a strong technical understanding of hair colouring.
• Basic proficiency in Microsoft Office 365.

What We Offer: At Kao, we support our employees with a range of benefits, including:
