In accordance with Home Office guidance successful candidates will be required to evidence their right to work in the UK before commencement of employment.

This role is not one we would typically consider for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route due to, for example, the relevant Home Office requirements on skills level, not being met. Candidates are therefore encouraged to consider their own right to work options without Next sponsorship.

As part of your application you will be required to complete an online assessment. This involve a Working with Numbers Assessment and a Retail Scenarios Assessment. Our in‑store recruitment team will then review the successfully completed applications and those that match the job criteria closest will be contacted to arrange an initial interview so we can have a chat to find out more about you.
