Store Colleague Full Time

Established in 1981 with a single store in the Northwest of England, the JD Group is a leading omni-channel retailer of Sports Fashion, Outdoors, and Gyms with our colleagues working in stores across several retail fascias in many markets around the world. JD Sports Fashion Plc was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1996 and has been a FTSE100 publicly quoted company since 2019 and continues to grow in the UK and internationally.

We want to be the leading global omnichannel retailer in the sports and outdoor industry. To be a part of this successful company and help us to achieve this you will have the desire to ingrain our strategic goals of being a people-led, innovative, and customer-focused organisation which provides operational excellence whilst identifying new areas of growth as part of our day to day objectives.

This is JD. Born in 1981. Built for Now.

At JD, we don’t just sell sneakers and outdoor gear, we set trends, break boundaries, and build communities. Whether you're on the shop floor, behind the scenes, or driving innovation, every role here plays a part in shaping the future of our industry. We’re fast-paced, fearless, and unapologetically ambitious. We celebrate authenticity, thrive on collaboration, and never stop pushing forward, if you’re ready to bring your energy, ideas, and personality to a team that values them.

This is your moment. This is JD. Are you in?


At the JD Group, we don’t just follow trends — we set them. As a Store Colleague, you’ll be a key part of delivering the JD group experience every day, helping customers feel welcomed, supported, and excited about what we offer.

You’ll help keep the shop floor running smoothly by greeting customers with energy, keeping displays looking sharp, and ensuring stock is always replenished. With a positive attitude, strong teamwork, and a passion for great service, you’ll help maintain the high standards we are known for — from presentation to customer experience.

If you’re ready to be part of a fast-paced retail environment, bring enthusiasm to every shift, and grow your skills with the support of a great team, this role is your chance to make an impact and build a strong foundation for your future career.

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.
