Front of House Assistant – Client Experience

7 days ago

Prahran, Victoria, Australia The Piercing Urge Full time $45,000 - $60,000 per year

Part-time | Prahran, Melbourne | Weekends essential

The Piercing Urge is Melbourne's leading body-piercing studio — known for safety, quality, and an exceptional client experience. We're looking for a sharp, level-headed Front of House Assistant to keep the studio running smoothly and help drive the next stage of our growth.

This isn't a typical reception or retail role. It's for someone who thrives in organised chaos — who can keep ten things moving at once without losing composure, genuinely cares about clients, and knows how to turn hesitation into confidence (and confidence into a sale).

If you love systems, people, and performance — you'll fit right in.

What You'll Do

  • Run the front of house like a control tower — manage bookings, walk-ins, calls, emails, and piercer schedules with accuracy and calm
  • Deliver an outstanding client experience from greeting to aftercare
  • Read people fast — turn curiosity into commitment through genuine, confident recommendations
  • Keep the day flowing: anticipate problems, solve them early, and keep everyone on time
  • Maintain high standards of presentation, safety, and organisation
  • Work closely with the owner to test new systems and improve processes
  • Protect a healthy, drama-free culture — and be part of the reason it stays that way

Who You Are

  • Calm, grounded, and reliable — you don't crack when things get busy
  • A fast thinker who loves multitasking and keeping order in fast-moving environments
  • Naturally warm with clients, but direct and efficient when it counts
  • Detail-oriented with excellent written and verbal communication
  • Confident selling high-value products or experiences without being pushy
  • Quick to learn systems (Shopify, Square, etc.)
  • Values professionalism, health & safety, and exceptional quality above excuses
  • Excited by growth — you see yourself as a key part of a studio scaling up, not just clocking in

Experience Required:

Previous experience in customer service and sales roles is essential. Experience in the body-piercing industry is not required — we'll provide full training in our systems, jewellery, and processes.


What We Offer
  • A role with real impact and progression potential — opportunity to grow into a leadership or operations position for the right person
  • Direct mentorship from the owner and involvement in building new systems and processes
  • A creative, inclusive workplace with high standards and no tolerance for drama
  • Full immersion into the world of high-end body piercing and jewellery, with opportunities to learn about the craft and industry
  • Ongoing professional development and opportunities for continued learning
  • Exceptional staff discounts on jewellery and services
  • Access to mental-health support through an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Memberships with professional organisations
  • Annual First Aid, CPR, and Bloodborne Pathogen training
  • Competitive pay reflective of responsibility and performance

Please note: This role is not an apprenticeship and is not a pathway to becoming a body piercer. It is a dedicated Front of House and Operations position focused on client experience and studio coordination.


Hours & Details
  • Permanent part-time (2 days per week)
  • Occasional extra shifts available; potential to expand as the role develops
  • Must be available weekends and public holidays
  • Based in our Prahran studio
  • $33 per hour

How to Apply

Apply with your resume and cover letter. Applications without cover letters will not be considered.

We're not looking for perfect — we're looking for someone sharp, emotionally intelligent, and excited to build something great with us.
