As part of our Hair and Beauty department, you will support teaching staff and students by preparing for practical lessons and managing stock control, cashing up, and finance systems. We are expanding our department and building a brand-new state-of-the-art salon opening in September 2026 in central London.

We offer generous annual leave, a defined-benefit pension scheme, interest-free season ticket loans, cycle schemes, free sight tests, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, and many other benefits.
