This Part-Time Fashion Consultant role is with Kids Around, a children’s fashion retail concept within Chalhoub Group, the luxury retail and distribution group that has operated across the Middle East for over six decades. The role is a frontline, customer-facing position within a Dubai store, focused on helping parents and families find the right products for their children.
Day to day, the work involves greeting and assisting customers, offering product recommendations suited to children’s clothing and accessories, processing sales transactions, and maintaining store presentation standards consistent with Chalhoub Group’s customer-centric approach. As a part-time role, it suits someone looking for flexible retail hours rather than a full-time commitment.
It suits someone who enjoys working with customers, has an interest in fashion retail, and is comfortable in a role that combines genuine product knowledge with sales and service delivery, often engaging with both parents and children during the shopping experience.
Being part of Chalhoub Group, a company with deep experience across luxury fashion, beauty and lifestyle categories, this role offers exposure to high service standards within a well-established regional retail group.
Fashion Consultants are the direct point of contact between Kids Around and its customers, and the quality of that in-store interaction shapes whether parents have a positive shopping experience worth repeating, particularly in a category like children's fashion where parents often shop frequently as their children grow. A consultant who provides genuinely helpful recommendations and manages the specific dynamics of serving both a parent and a child well directly affects conversion and basket size during each visit. Because children's retail often involves repeat, needs-based shopping rather than occasional discretionary purchases, consistent service quality has an outsized effect on customer loyalty and repeat visits over time. Within Chalhoub Group's broader portfolio, maintaining strong customer-facing standards at every brand, including a children's concept like Kids Around, protects the group's overall reputation for service excellence that it has built over decades. Good frontline service also reduces returns and complaints, which has a direct, if less visible, effect on store profitability.
Working as a Fashion Consultant at Kids Around offers a practical, flexible entry point into retail, building core customer service, sales and product knowledge skills within a part-time schedule that suits people balancing other commitments or starting out in retail. The role builds genuinely transferable skills in customer engagement, including the specific skill of managing both a parent's and a child's experience simultaneously, which is a distinct and valuable variation on general retail customer service. Being part of Chalhoub Group, a company with deep roots across luxury fashion, beauty and lifestyle retail in the region, offers exposure to high service standards and brand values that are well regarded across the retail sector. For someone interested in building a longer-term retail career, strong performance in a part-time consultant role is often a pathway to full-time positions, Senior Consultant roles, or further opportunities across Chalhoub Group's wider portfolio of brands. It's a solid, flexible starting point for anyone wanting genuine retail experience within a well-established, reputable group. It's also worth noting that experience gained in a role like this tends to read well on a CV precisely because it shows a candidate can operate within a structured, process-driven organization, which many employers specifically look for when hiring for their next level of responsibility.
