Main Responsibilities

As a Sales Assistant at Beaverbrooks, you’ll passionately sell stunning diamonds, jewellery and watches. That means creating moments that will last a lifetime—for every customer, every time. You’ll encourage love and appreciation for our products, by knowing each one of them and what makes them special. You’ll listen and take the time to identify our customers needs. As well as how much they’d like to spend on something really special. All so you can help them find the perfect item for their occasion. Make no mistake, there's a lot to learn about the products, the people and the Beaverbrooks Way. And be prepared for accountability. The truth is, you’re going to have to work hard if you want to keep up—but, believe us, you’ll want to.

Ideal Candidate

As a Sales Assistant you’ll have a passion for the customer experience and a down-to-earth approach. You’ll also love working with colleagues who believe in the same values and commitment to amazing service as you. You know how important it is to listen to customers and be open and honest with them. You should be driven by the chance to turn the everyday into the extraordinary. Maybe you’ll have some merchandising experience to enhance your ability to create the extraordinary. We’ll train you if not, but one thing’s for sure… you’ll certainly have a great eye for detail and what good looks like. As well as a brilliant instinct, you'll also know that you’re going to have to put plenty in to get out what you want.
