Join Our Team This Summer!
We’re hiring Support Team Members to help us through the busy summer period. Opportunities are available between 23rd June and 31st August, with contracts lasting from a few days up to 10 weeks, depending on each store’s needs.
Please note: availability on Friday 4th July and Saturday 5th July may be required.
About the Role:
You’ll be part of the in-store team, working on the shop floor, in the stockroom, or both—helping things run smoothly during our busy summer season. Whether serving customers or managing stock, you’ll bring energy, teamwork, and a positive attitude, while keeping in touch with your team to ensure everything stays on track.
On the sales floor, you’ll:
• Deliver fast, friendly service to help customers find what they need
• Move stock to the shop floor quickly and efficiently
• Keep sales floors looking great and easy to shop from
In the stockroom, you’ll:
• Accurately process stock, including scanning, unpacking, hanging, size cubing, putting stock where it needs to go
• Locate, pack and transfer stock out of store quickly and carefully
• Meet key deadlines and keep the back of house tidy and organised
We also offer great benefits (conditions apply) — see further details below.
About You:
You’re friendly, reliable, and ready to take on whatever the day brings. Whether you’re experienced or trying retail for the first time, you’re excited to learn and get stuck in.
You are:
• Confident talking to customers and happy to help
• A team player who stays calm and focused, even when it’s busy
• Quick to learn and willing to try new things
• Self-motivated, positive, and dependable
• Well-presented and proud to be part of the team
If you’re looking for a fast-paced, hands-on role this summer, we’d love to hear from you!
In accordance with Home Office guidance successful candidates will be required to evidence their right to work in the UK before commencement of employment.
This role is not one we would typically consider for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route due to, for example, the relevant Home Office requirements on skills level, not being met. Candidates are therefore encouraged to consider their own right to work options without Next sponsorship.
What’s Next
As part of your application you will be required to complete an online assessment. This will involve a Working with Numbers Assessment and a Retail Scenarios Assessment. Our in-store recruitment team will then review the successfully completed applications and those that match the job criteria closest will be contacted to arrange an initial Interview so we can have a chat to find out more about you.
In order to apply for this position you must not have had an unsuccessful online assessment (as detailed above) in the last 6 months.
Best of luck!
