• You’ll have access to expert hands‑on training with premium brands in store, plus a comprehensive learning programme through our online learning platform to keep building your beauty expertise.
• You’ll attend our famous virtual and in‑person conferences where we bring our Beauty Specialists together for an immersive education experience.
• As a Boots Beauty Specialist there may be opportunities to get involved with creating social‑media content, supporting with events or even the chance to be involved in some of our exciting campaigns.

• A warm, approachable manner and the confidence to start conversations with customers.
