Our store in Merthyr is looking for a minimum 8 hrs per week Evening Sales Assistant. You will need to be fully flexible over the course of the week.

Here at Dunelm, our Sales Assistants are our foundations; a wonderful team of people right at the heart of our stores.

What you'll be doing

The role involves being trained in all aspects of customer facing store life:

  • Tills – Serving customers with purchases or returns and taking care to check that all items are complete and that fragile items are packed securely so they get to their new homes safely.
  • Shop floor – Assisting our customers to find the products they are looking for and providing an excellent memorable service to create and maintain customer loyalty and a genuine love for our products and people.
  • Hosting – If a customer can’t find what they’re looking for on our shelves, you will use our successful iPad systems to order products to be delivered to the customers homes. You will be trained to provide a fantastic Made To Measure service creating orders of bespoke curtain and blinds to our customers specifications. You will be styling our departments such as the super popular bedding displays to inspire and allow our customers the chance to feel fabrics and ensure they take the perfect items home.
  • Stock and Delivery – A physical role with some heavy lifting involved. This is not solely warehouse based and is a customer facing role. You will be focusing on merchandising, updating price changes, recovering the stores after a busy day making it lovely and tidy, taking in deliveries, checking stock control, ordering and carrying out shop-floor replenishment whilst always remembering our customers’ needs along the way.

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.
