About the Role
Join our lively store teams this summer for flexible, short-term work (contracts range from a few days to up to 12 weeks), ideal for those seeking a temporary opportunity. Embrace a vibrant Next culture—supportive yet dynamic—with plenty of learning and development in a busy, energetic retail environment.

Responsibilities

In-Store Duties
- Provide fast, friendly service, helping customers locate and purchase their items efficiently
- Maintain a well-stocked, tidy, and appealing sales floor—organising displays to reflect seasonal trends
- Uphold cleanliness and presentation standards to create an inviting shopping experience
- Take ownership of customer inquiries and sales interactions during peak periods
Stockroom Responsibilities
- Process deliveries efficiently to ensure the sales floor remains fully stocked and visually reassuring
- Handle handling stock replenishment—picking, packing and transferring stock on time to meet customer demands
- Maintain a safe, clean and organised back-of-house environment following Health & Safety standards
- Support efficient stock audits to track inventory accuracy
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.
In fast-paced retail, flexibility is often required: you may support both areas (sales floor and stockroom) as customer activity fluctuates.
