Become a Seasonal Night Stock Operations Assistant
For over 300 years, Fortnum & Mason has helped make Christmas truly magical. From festive feasts and luxury gifts to unforgettable experiences, we've been spreading joy from our iconic Piccadilly store since 1707.
This Christmas, we're looking for enthusiastic and hardworking individuals to join our Seasonal Night Stock Operations team, working behind the scenes to prepare our store for each busy festive day.
Working overnight from 10pm to 7am, you'll play a vital role in ensuring our beautiful sales floors are fully replenished, stock is organised and available, and our operations run smoothly throughout our busiest and most exciting season.
Available Roles
- Night Retail Replenishment Assistant: Support our retail teams overnight by replenishing and organising stock across the store, ensuring our departments are ready to welcome customers each morning and maintaining the exceptional standards and product availability our customers expect.
- Night Warehouse Operative: Work within our overnight stock and warehouse operation to receive, organise, move and distribute products across the business, helping ensure smooth and efficient operations during the peak Christmas trading period.
Recruitment Open Day
As part of our recruitment process, shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend an exclusive Christmas Recruitment Open Day at our iconic Piccadilly store.
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.
