West Lothian College is looking to appoint a talented salon receptionist to support the running of our commercial salon which is based on our college campus in Livingston.

 

If you are a friendly, organised and customer focussed individual, then this role is for you. You will be carrying out a number of activities such as promoting the salon, answering salon enquiries, taking and managing bookings and offering an outstanding customer and student experience. 

 

You will be part of a dynamic and vibrant team offering exceptional customer service at our newly refurbished ‘Platinum Salon’. Our salon offers a comprehensive range of services in hairdressing, beauty and barbering and we have students enrolled undertaking courses at various levels of study.  By joining our college as Platinum Salon Receptionist, you will become an integral part of an environment that fosters creativity, learning, and inspiration and you will have the incredible opportunity to inspire and support students on their journey to becoming skilled industry professionals.

 

You will be educated to SCQF Level 5 (e.g. National 5) and have experience working in a customer-facing role alongside excellent organisation and time management skills.
