Careers at Allum & Sidaway
At Allum & Sidaway, beautiful jewellery is only part of what makes our business special. It is the people behind every warm welcome, every piece of trusted advice and every carefully chosen gift.

Why work with us?
Be part of a genuine family business
We want everyone at Allum & Sidaway to feel valued and involved. Our stores are friendly, close-knit places where people support one another, celebrate success together and take pride in what they achieve as a team.
You will be joining an independent business where individual contributions are noticed and where great ideas, enthusiasm and initiative are always welcome.
Grow your Career
We believe talented people should have the opportunity to develop.
As your knowledge, confidence and experience grow, so can your responsibilities. Whether you would like to become a jewellery specialist, support and mentor colleagues or progress towards a supervisory or management role, we will encourage you to build on your strengths and explore where your ambition could take you.
Your first role with Allum & Sidaway could be the beginning of a long and fulfilling career.
Work in a Wonderful Industry
Jewellery is connected to some of life’s happiest and most meaningful occasions: engagements, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, new beginnings and personal achievements.
Working with us means helping customers find something that expresses exactly what they want to say. Some visits are carefully planned; others begin with a customer who simply needs guidance and inspiration. In every case, you have the opportunity to make the experience personal, enjoyable and memorable.
You will also spend your days surrounded by beautiful jewellery, watches, craftsmanship and design — continually discovering something new.
Be Proud of Where You Work
Allum & Sidaway has been recognised nationally for its retail experience, customer service, store teams and contribution to the jewellery industry. Most recently, we were named Retailer of the Year at the 2024 National Association of Jewellers Awards.
These awards belong to the people across our business whose care, knowledge and dedication make Allum & Sidaway what it is. When you join us, you become part of that continuing success story.
What Makes a Great Allum & Sidaway Colleague
You do not need to know everything about jewellery on your first day. What matters is that you are curious, willing to learn and genuinely interested in people.
We look for colleagues who enjoy listening, asking thoughtful questions and helping customers feel comfortable. People who take pride in the details, support their teammates and understand that exceptional service comes from patience, honesty and care.
A passion for jewellery is wonderful. A passion for giving people a great experience is essential.
More Than a Sales Role
A career with Allum & Sidaway is about becoming someone customers can trust.
You will develop the knowledge to explain products clearly, the confidence to offer thoughtful recommendations and the sensitivity to understand what each purchase means to the person making it.
It is a role that combines product expertise, personal service, teamwork and creativity — and no two customer conversations are ever quite the same.
