This Part-Time Fashion Consultant role is with Kids Around in Dubai, within Chalhoub Group, the Gulf’s long-established partner and creator of luxury retail experiences across fashion, beauty, and lifestyle categories. Kids Around is a children’s fashion retail concept, and this role is about delivering a genuinely attentive, knowledgeable retail experience to parents and children shopping for premium kidswear.
Expect the shift-based work to involve welcoming and assisting customers, advising parents on sizing, styling, and product selection for their children, maintaining store presentation and stock standards, and processing sales transactions accurately. Because the customer here is often a parent shopping with a child in tow, patience and genuine warmth matter as much as styling knowledge.
Working in a part-time capacity within a luxury retail environment still requires meeting the same brand standards as full-time staff — presentation, product knowledge, and customer service all need to be consistent regardless of shift pattern.
It suits someone personable and customer-focused, ideally with some fashion or retail experience, who enjoys working with families and children and wants flexible, part-time hours within a luxury retail environment.
Shopping for children's fashion is often a more emotionally engaged, time-pressured experience for parents than typical retail, and a genuinely attentive, patient Fashion Consultant can turn a potentially stressful outing into a positive one that brings customers back. This role directly shapes how families experience the Kids Around brand, and a consultant who combines good product knowledge with real warmth toward both parents and children builds the kind of loyalty that drives repeat visits as children grow through different sizes and seasons. Because Chalhoub Group operates across a portfolio of luxury retail brands, consistent, high-quality service at Kids Around protects the group's broader reputation for delivering genuine luxury retail experiences, even within a children's fashion category that might otherwise be seen as lower stakes than premium adult fashion. In a market as competitive as UAE retail and hospitality, where customers have many alternatives close by, the consistency of this kind of front-line role is one of the simplest and most direct ways a brand protects repeat business rather than losing customers to a competitor down the street.
This role offers flexible, part-time entry into luxury retail with Chalhoub Group, one of the region's most established luxury retail operators, which is a strong credential for anyone building a retail career even on a part-time basis. Working with Kids Around builds genuine customer service and styling consultation skills in a niche but growing segment of luxury retail, alongside the professionalism and brand standards expected across Chalhoub's wider portfolio. For someone balancing other commitments who still wants to build retail experience, this part-time role provides real, transferable skills — product knowledge, customer service, and point-of-sale operations — that can support a transition into full-time retail roles later, within Kids Around or across Chalhoub Group's broader network of luxury fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands. For someone early in their working life, roles like this one are also where fundamental workplace habits get built — punctuality, teamwork, and handling pressure calmly — which tend to matter more to future employers than the specific tasks of any one job. Because retail and hospitality brands in the UAE operate at real scale, strong performers in frontline roles like this one are often noticed quickly by management, which creates a genuine, visible path toward supervisory responsibility for anyone who takes the role seriously.
Consider including these terms in your resume for this role:
Tell me about a time you helped a customer who was shopping with a child who was having a difficult moment.
Look for patience and composure.
How do you advise a parent on sizing or styling for their child?
Assess genuine product knowledge or willingness to learn.

Assess practical attention to detail.
What attracts you to working with a children's fashion brand specifically?
Gauge genuine motivation and fit.
