What does it take to be a great Apprentice Sales Associate?

Our store teams are made up of customer-first people with a real passion for outstanding service, creating amazing experiences and lasting memories for our customers. Our team members work hard to develop outstanding product knowledge and real jewellery expertise that they can share with our customers. 

As an Apprentice Sales Associate you'll become a committed and dedicated member of the team, you'll play a key role in helping the store to maintain performance and meet sales targets. As new products are introduced in store, you will build your knowledge and develop your skills in customer service to ensure that you can deal with every type of customer enquiry. 

As the face of H. Samuel, we want you to reflect our brand, culture and customers. You certainly won't find our Store team members suited and booted. Instead, we're proud of our team's unique personalities and to showcase this we have a fashion conscious, business casual dress code, which encourages our teams to celebrate their own tattoo's, piercings and style!

In any of our 280 + H. Samuel stores you'll see our knowledgeable team members devote their days to sharing and celebrating special life-changing moments with our customers. We love that we are a key part in making an engagement, a wedding or the celebration of a loved-one's Birthday even more special by ensuring our customers discover the perfect piece to mark the occasion. Ours is an environment like no other. Join us – Be part of something special!
