The Role:
This summer, why not step into a role as one of our Short-term Temporary Sales Assistants? Working in one of our retail stores, you’ll help create an enjoyable shopping experience throughout the season.
You’ll develop a strong understanding of Joules products and combine this with a friendly, welcoming approach to deliver great customer service.
Flexible working options are available - you can choose weekends, weekdays, or work across the summer holidays.
About the Role:
As part of the team, you’ll be the face of Joules, helping to create a shopping experience that reflects our brand and meets our customers’ needs. We don’t just sell clothes - we help our customers find items that let them feel like the most original version of themselves.
Whether you’re chatting with customers or helping them find something they love, you’ll do it with a smile.
About You:
We value our people as our greatest asset and want everyone to feel welcome from day one. You’ll bring a positive attitude to our store and enjoy making people feel comfortable and supported.
You don’t need previous retail experience - just a willingness to learn, a helpful approach, and a desire to be part of a team.
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.
