About the Opportunity
Summer Team Roles
Join our store teams this summer to deliver incredible customer experiences. Contracts range from short-term to up to 12 weeks, offering flexible, hands-on work ideal for those seeking seasonal opportunities.
At NEXT, we create a dynamic and supportive environment where colleagues thrive—developing new skills, growing confidence, and contributing to a team-driven atmosphere.
Note: Availability for the Summer Sale weekend (Friday 3rd & Saturday 4th July) may be required, depending on your start date.
What You’ll Do
As an integral part of our in-store team, you’ll contribute across the sales floor, stockroom, or both in this fast-paced retail environment.
Sales Floor Responsibilities
- Deliver fast, friendly service and assist customers in finding what they need
- Maintain a well-stocked, organised, and visually appealing sales floor
- Ensure the shop is clean, tidy, and welcoming for customers
Stockroom Responsibilities
- Efficiently process deliveries and replenish the sales floor to ensure it stays fully stocked
- Pick, pack, and transfer stock to meet customer demands
- Keep the stockroom clean, safe, and organised
You may support both areas as needed, depending on store requirements. Every role contributes to keeping operations running smoothly!
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.
