About the Role
We’re looking for enthusiastic, proactive individuals who thrive in customer-facing roles. While retail sales experience is ideal, if you’ve worked in any customer-focused sales environment—such as hospitality, phone support, or other retail roles—you’ll likely be a great fit with us.
You’ll need to be quick thinkers who can handle the hustle of a busy shop while delivering exceptional service. We’ll provide all the training you need to master our product range, fitting services, and customer interactions. Our focus will be on making every customer feel like they’ve left with a brilliant experience.
Career development is at the heart of what we do. We offer comprehensive training and support you to progress—whether that’s in Retail, or further within Halifax Group. Our team empowers you to work at your own pace and embrace your ambitions.
Key Responsibilities
To succeed in this role, you will:
- Deliver excellent customer service, with a particular emphasis on retail sales
- Take a proactive and customer-centric approach, anticipating needs and exceeding expectations
- Use strong problem-solving skills to resolve queries efficiently
- Operate on a rota basis, including weekend shifts
- Ideally have sales target experience, though your ability to drive sales will be developed
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
