Beauty Therapist jobs in United Kingdom

This 12-month maternity cover is your chance to lead one of Holland & Barrett's most exciting categories and gain hands‑on experience with high‑impact product launches.

Beauty is in the middle of a major transformation – we've redefined it with an “inside‑out” approach, combining high-performance skincare with ingestible supplements like collagen. It's paying off: recent store trials delivered a 7% uplift in beauty sales and introduced leading brands like Cetaphil, Aveeno, and Noughty.

In this role, you'll make sure that momentum continues – managing promotions so they drive sales, strengthening supplier relationships to sharpen your commercial skills, and supporting new launches that build your expertise in one of retail's fastest‑growing categories.

If you want to make a measurable impact and develop skills that set you apart, keep reading.

• Helping deliver the category plan and ensuring it's implemented effectively.
• Managing promotions and campaigns so they land on time and actually drive sales.
• Working with suppliers to keep deals on track, negotiate terms, and make sure products flow through the supply chain.
• Keeping an eye on sales, margin, and stock so nothing falls through the cracks – because nothing kills a campaign faster than empty shelves.
• Supporting new product launches and making sure the range looks sharp, relevant, and profitable.

You'll also be the person who spots problems before they escape. Whether it's a stock issue, a pricing error, or a promotion that isn't pulling its weight, you'll flag it and fix it.

• Promotions run smoothly and customers actually notice them.
• Suppliers aren't chasing us for answers because you've already given them.
• Stock levels look healthy, not scarce.
• The numbers make sense – sales, margin, and profitability are all heading in the right direction.

• Experience in buying or category management – FMCG or retail would be ideal.
• You're comfortable working with P&L, understand the importance of margins, and can discuss the numbers confidently.
• You're organised, because this role has moving parts and deadlines that don't move.
• You're confident communicating with suppliers and internal teams and can build strong, natural relationships.
• And you're not afraid of data – because you'll be using it every day to make decisions that matter.
