Not every job in a jewellery showroom is behind the sales counter. Every Malabar Gold & Diamonds showroom also depends on a support team — store helpers, stock and packing staff, back-office assistants, housekeeping and maintenance support — who keep the store running safely and smoothly. These roles are often open to 10th pass and 12th pass candidates and suit people who prefer steady, practical work to selling. This 2026 guide explains what each support role involves, the usual shift pattern, approximate pay and how to apply.
About the Employer
Malabar Gold & Diamonds is the jewellery retail brand of the Malabar Group, based in Kozhikode, Kerala, with a large network of showrooms across India and in several other countries. Large showrooms can have dozens of staff, and a good share of them work in support functions. You can view showroom locations and company information on the Malabar Gold & Diamonds official website.
Why Support Roles Matter in a Jewellery Store
A jewellery showroom holds stock worth crores. That stock must be counted every morning and evening, tagged correctly, stored safely, displayed attractively and packed carefully for customers. Paperwork must match the physical stock exactly. The floor must look spotless because customers expect a premium experience. Support staff make all of this happen, and showroom managers value reliable support staff highly because mistakes in these areas are costly.
Support Roles Explained
Store Helper
Assists the sales floor: brings water and tea for customers, keeps counters, mirrors and glass displays clean, carries packed items to billing, helps arrange displays before opening and after closing, and runs small errands inside the showroom. Helpers who are alert and polite are often promoted to sales trainee roles.
Stock and Inventory Assistant
Supports the inventory team with tagging new pieces, recording weights, counting trays at opening and closing, and preparing transfer lists when stock moves between showrooms. Everything is done under supervision and logged.
Packing and Dispatch Assistant
Packs sold items in branded boxes and bags, attaches certificates and invoices, and prepares items for courier or customer pick-up, including online orders handled by the showroom. This role fits the “Warehouse & Parts Packing” type of work seen in retail job adverts.
Back-Office Assistant
Helps with data entry, filing invoices and certificates, maintaining registers for repairs and customer orders, and preparing daily reports for the manager. Basic computer skills are needed.
Repair and Alteration Desk Support
Records customer repair, polishing and resizing requests, tags the pieces, coordinates with the technical team and informs customers when items are ready. Candidates with jewellery-workshop or ITI experience may handle minor technical work themselves.
Housekeeping and Maintenance
Many large retailers use contract agencies for housekeeping and security. If you are hired through an agency, your employer is the agency, so check its name and your wage terms carefully.
Who Can Apply
- 10th pass: store helper, packing, housekeeping support.
- 12th pass: stock assistant, back-office assistant, repair desk.
- ITI / workshop experience: technical repair and polishing support.
- Age usually 18+; physically fit for standing and lifting light boxes.
- Clean background and good references — very important in jewellery retail.
Approximate Pay
| Role at a Malabar showroom | Typical qualification | Approximate monthly pay (commonly advertised) |
|---|---|---|
| Store helper / runner | 10th pass | ₹17,000 – ₹22,000 |
| Sales trainee / jewellery consultant (entry) | 12th pass | ₹19,000 – ₹27,000 |
| Reception & customer support | 12th pass / graduate | ₹20,000 – ₹29,000 |
| Showroom cashier / billing | 12th pass with commerce, or B.Com | ₹24,000 – ₹30,000 |
| Technical staff (repair, polishing, alteration desk) | ITI / experience in jewellery work | ₹22,000 – ₹35,000 |
| Warehouse, stock & packing | 10th / 12th pass | ₹19,000 – ₹27,000 |
These are approximate ranges commonly seen in jewellery-retail job adverts in India, not official Malabar Gold & Diamonds pay scales. Actual pay depends on city, showroom size, experience and incentives — always confirm the figure in your written offer letter.
Support roles are generally at the lower and middle part of these ranges, with technical repair work at the higher end for experienced people. Overtime or festival allowances, where offered, vary by showroom. If you are covered by PF, you can verify contributions on the EPFO member portal.
Shifts and Working Hours
Jewellery showrooms usually open mid-morning and close in the late evening. Support staff often follow a slightly different pattern from sales staff:
| Role | Typical timing pattern | Busiest periods |
|---|---|---|
| Store helper | Full showroom hours, with a break | Evenings, weekends, festivals |
| Stock assistant | Arrives before opening, stays until closing count | New-stock arrival days, month end |
| Packing / dispatch | Day shift, extended in festive weeks | Dhanteras, Akshaya Tritiya, weddings |
| Back office | Day shift | Month end, audits |
| Repair desk | Showroom hours | After festivals and weddings |
The exact hours, weekly off and festival duty will be in your offer letter. Weekends and festival days are normally working days in jewellery retail.
Skills That Help
- Attention to detail — one wrong tag or count creates a mismatch.
- Honesty and discipline with security procedures.
- Basic reading, writing and number skills; simple computer use for back-office work.
- Neatness — packing and display work is seen directly by customers.
- Teamwork and a calm attitude on busy festival days.
Short courses in retail operations, warehouse basics and digital literacy are available free on the Skill India Digital Hub. Retail and logistics apprenticeships with a stipend are listed on the Apprenticeship India portal.
Security Procedures You Should Expect
Support staff in jewellery stores work under stricter rules than in most shops. Typical practices include bag checks, personal items kept in lockers, CCTV coverage, stock counted in pairs, signed handovers for every tray and restricted access to the safe. These rules protect honest staff as much as the company — if a count mismatch ever happens, the records show who handled what. Candidates who accept these procedures positively in the interview make a good impression.
Opening and Closing Routine: What Support Staff Actually Do
Opening: the support team usually arrives before the doors open. Helpers clean glass counters, mirrors and trays, check that lights, display stands and air-conditioning are working, and set out customer seating and refreshments. Stock assistants collect trays from the safe with a supervisor, count each piece against the register and hand them to the counters with signatures.
During the day: stock staff log any new arrivals, transfers and sold pieces; packing staff prepare boxes, pouches and certificates as bills are generated; the repair desk records new requests and returns finished items. Helpers keep the floor tidy and support the sales team during rush hours.
Closing: every tray is brought back, counted again and matched with the day’s sales record before it goes into the safe. Back-office staff file the day’s invoices and prepare a short report for the manager. The store is cleaned and secured before staff leave.
Tips to Stand Out in a Support-Role Interview
- Mention any experience with counting, stock registers, packing or data entry — even from a grocery store, warehouse or family shop.
- Say clearly that you are comfortable with security checks and strict procedures.
- Show that you are punctual and can commit to the store for a long period.
- Dress neatly; support staff are also seen by customers.
How to Apply
- Check the Malabar Gold & Diamonds official website and verified brand social pages for hiring updates.
- Visit your nearest showroom in the morning and ask for the manager or HR contact; leave a simple resume mentioning the role you want (helper, stock, packing, back office).
- Apply on reputable job portals for listings that name a real showroom address.
- If a recruitment or housekeeping agency contacts you, confirm the agency’s name, address and the showroom you will work at.
- Keep your documents ready for quick joining.

Growth From Support Roles
Support roles are a genuine entry point. A helper who learns the products can move to sales trainee; a stock assistant can become inventory controller; a back-office assistant can move into accounts or billing; a repair-desk executive can grow into after-sales in-charge. Managers often prefer promoting trusted insiders over hiring from outside.
Agency vs Company Payroll
If you join through a staffing agency, your wages, PF and ESI are managed by the agency. Ask for a written appointment letter and payslips. If wages are not paid as agreed, information on labour laws and grievance channels is available on the Ministry of Labour & Employment website.
Beware of Fake Malabar Gold Job Offers
Big jewellery brands attract fake recruiters because job seekers trust the name. Keep these rules in mind:
- No genuine showroom asks for money — not for registration, uniform, “security deposit”, training kit or an offer letter.
- Be careful with WhatsApp-only “HR” numbers, Gmail or Yahoo addresses and offer letters that arrive without any interview.
- Check that the store address actually exists and visit it during working hours if you can.
- If a caller pressures you to pay quickly, stop, and report suspicious numbers and messages on Sanchar Saathi.
- If you have paid a fake agent, keep every receipt and screenshot and file a complaint with your local police station; for unfair trade practices you can also approach the National Consumer Helpline.
