JD Sports Fashion Plc was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1996 and has been a FTSE100 company since 2019, continuing to grow in the UK and internationally.
Our ambition is clear: to be the leading global omni-channel retailer in the sports and outdoor industry. As part of this journey, we’re looking for individuals who share our desire to drive our strategic goals—being a people-led, innovative, and customer-focused organisation that delivers operational excellence while identifying new opportunities for growth as part of your day-to-day work.

Your tasks will include:

- Maintaining high standards in presentation and customer service.
With a positive attitude, strong teamwork, and a passion for exceptional service, you’ll help uphold the excellence that defines our brand and contribute to a dynamic, fast-paced retail environment. If you thrive in this setting, bring energy to every shift, and support continuous personal growth, this role is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact as you build a strong foundation for your 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.
