Job Title: Retail Sales Assistants
Department: Retail and Licensing
Hours of Work: See Below
Contract Type: Permanent
Salary: £13.85 per hour
Location: Bullring Store / Villa Park Store
Closing Date: Saturday 31 October 2026
The Department
The Club are continuing our rapid growth trajectory both on and off the pitch, further expanding our commercial footprint. Last year, we launched our new retail store in the heart of Birmingham’s iconic Bullring shopping centre. The store is a first of a kind collaboration between adidas and Aston Villa Football Club bringing together the best of adidas Originals, apparel, and sportswear alongside our official Club merchandise.
We did not stop there – we also reopened our improved ‘Claret, Blue and Brand New’ Villa Park store with a brand-new entrance, an external wrap-around screening with cutting edge forced perspective video, a grab-and-go refreshments station and a green screen photo experience.
Both our stores offer unique retail experiences - we are constantly expanding and enhancing our product offering bringing our supporters closer to the Club through products that they love.
The Roles
We are now looking to continue to build our teams in both of our stores who will bring our unique retail experience to life.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

You will make sure that our stores ‘look and feel’ is kept to the highest standard - replenishing stock, maintaining merchandising stands and tidying item displays.
You will use your effective selling skills to highlight promotional items to customers and help achieve sales targets whilst maintaining high standards of professionalism with a ‘customer first’ approach.
