The Role & Expectations
The work is greeting and advising customers, explaining safe use and risks, operating and cleaning the equipment, applying spray tans where offered, and handling payments and bookings. A friendly manner, attention to hygiene and a responsible approach to safety matter, since you must follow the rules on tanning, including age limits, and advise customers honestly.
The work is indoors on the shop floor, often including weekends and some evenings, with pay usually around the minimum wage plus possible commission on products. It is steady customer-service work, and there are legal responsibilities around who can use the beds and for how long.
No formal qualifications are needed and you learn on the job, including the rules and safe use of equipment. By law you must not let under-18s use sunbeds, and following hygiene and safety regulations is part of the role.
