 Be Part of a New Era in Healthcare

At Boots, we’re transforming the healthcare experience across the UK. From reimagined in-store services to convenient digital solutions, we’re making health and wellness accessible, personal, and exciting for everyone.

As a Healthcare Sales Assistant, you’ll be at the heart of this transformation. You’ll be more than just a sales assistant – you’ll be a trusted health advisor, supporting customers with care, empathy, and expert guidance.

Whether you’re starting your career or looking for a meaningful role in healthcare, Boots gives you the platform to thrive – with training, support, and great benefits.

 Your Role – What You’ll Be Doing

As a Healthcare Sales Assistant, you’ll deliver complete care. That means offering trusted advice, tailored product recommendations, and outstanding service.

Here’s what your day might include:

• Giving holistic health advice – Understand customer needs and recommend products and services that promote wellness.
• Engaging with customers – Use The Boots Healthcare Way to start conversations and offer multiple solutions.

• Promoting Boots digital tools – Guide customers to online services like Boots.com and the Online Doctor.
• Building customer relationships – Connect with the local community and become a trusted face in-store.
• Referring customers to experts – When needed, guide patients to the right healthcare professional, such as a pharmacist.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Energetic and enthusiastic – You love solving problems and supporting people.
• Curious – You’re genuinely interested in health and wellbeing.
