Retail Outlet Operative

We are currently looking to recruit a full-time Retail Outlet Operative to support our Retail Team, based at OKA Godstone in the Surrey countryside. One of our first, three outlet stores that has deliveries of new outlet stock every week and at least a 25% discount of each item.

ABOUT US

We know the best work is done by people who enjoy their jobs, so we create a fun and nurturing environment where everyone feels valued and is able to thrive. We are looking for an agile and proactive Retail Outlet Operative with a positive attitude and entrepreneurial spirit who can help us nurture this company culture.

Reporting directly to the Store Manager as a Retail Outlet Operative, you’ll support the smooth day-to-day operations of the outlet store. You’ll play a key part in maintaining a professional, tidy and safe environment for both customers and the team.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

This is a hybrid role covering both stockroom and shop floor responsibilities.

  • Receive deliveries, unload stock, and complete relevant paperwork.
  • Move and manage stock in the stockroom, ensuring accuracy, organisation, and follow-up of discrepancies.
  • Maintain a clean, tidy, and well-organised stockroom at all times.
  • Support inventory control, including cycle counts, stock checks, and management of faulty or unlabelled items.
  • Support promotional setups, seasonal changes, and general store preparation.
  • Provide strong shop floor support, including serving customers, handling enquiries, and assisting with sales transactions.
  • Replenish stock and maintain high visual merchandising standards across the store.
  • Work closely with the team to ensure smooth day-to-day store operations and a positive customer experience.
  • Be flexible and proactive in supporting both sales and operational needs across the 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.
