The Perfume Shop launches their 2024 Christmas recruitment programme offering over 750 festive roles
The Perfume Shop, the UK’s largest fragrance retailer, announces its 2024 recruitment programme for Christmas Sales Assistants ahead of the festive season. From mid-September through to October, The Perfume Shop will launch its Christmas recruitment campaign across 196 stores in the UK, offering over 750 temporary roles paid at the Real Living Wage, along with many fantastic benefits.
Approximately 750 Christmas Sales Assistant roles will be available at The Perfume Shop this season. With a comprehensive training programme, Christmas Sales Assistants will be supported to deliver The Perfume Shop’s high service standards, including welcoming customers into the store, assisting customers in making the perfect gifting perfume choice by sharing expert knowledge of the wide range of fragrances available, offering VIP membership benefits, and providing gift wrapping services when requested.
Last year, The Perfume Shop was able to offer over 250 permanent roles to its fantastic Christmas Sales Assistants, and it will continue to offer permanent positions to temporary staff where available. For many, a temporary Christmas Sales Assistant role is their first taste of employment. For some, it’s been the start of a fantastic career in retail, with many “Perfume People” who began as Christmas Sales Assistants at The Perfume Shop going on to senior management positions within the business.
The Perfume Shop is proud to ‘Grow our Own,’ enabling people to flourish through various learning and development programmes such as apprenticeships, The Fragrance Foundation qualifications, online modules, and their very own learner app. The Perfume Shop is committed to helping its “Perfume People” develop their talent, passion, and spark to grow within the business.
In addition to the Real Living Wage pay rate, The Perfume Shop will also be paying commission to everyone who works in their stores over the Christmas period. On average, Christmas Sales Assistants earned over £150 in commission last year across October, November, and December.
For The Perfume Shop, paying the Real Living Wage plus commission to temporary staff is their way of recognising the hard work and exceptional performance of all their store teams during the busiest time of year. Not only that, but The Perfume Shop also offers the same staff discount to its Christmas Sales Assistants as it does to permanent staff. With 20% off all products from day one, plus customer offers on top, staff can treat themselves, as well as friends and family, this Christmas.
Michelle Fellows, People & Development Director, says, “At The Perfume Shop, we believe in creating the ultimate shopping experience for our customers all year round, but especially during the festive period. We believe in those who have positive energy, a talent for teamwork, a passion for perfume, and a spark for engaging with customers. Over the years, many of our store staff have gone on to great success, including those who now work in our head office. This is a fantastic place to work during the festive season, and it’s our teams who make it really special for our customers.”
