Store Renewal Squad
We are building a Store Renewal Squad to support with our refit project to renovate and refresh some of our stores. This will be on a Nationwide basis, starting with our South East and South West England stores on a 6 month fixed term basis. Your base store will be Tewkesbury or Woodcote Green, and this role is Field based and will require frequent travelling to cover our stores across the UK.
While refit experience is not required, it would be beneficial. This role does have a lot of manual labour involved, so flexibility and working well in a team is required. You will be working under a Project Lead and a large team to support the execution of the refit plan.
Responsibilities
- Stock pricing
- Visual merchandising
- Housekeeping and standards
- Replenishment
- Following set up guides and planograms
- Support store refit and deliver merchandising standards
Measures of Success
- Store Operations are able to run smoothly with minimal impact on our customers
- Health & Safety standards are maintained
- There is effective communication with store teams and maintenance colleagues and there is a “one team” approach to resolving problems
- Stores look clean and organised
- You demonstrate our values at all times – we’re one team, getting better everyday. We bring a smile. We live and breathe gardens. We make it work for our customers.
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.
