Each and every one of our employees contributes to our progress and is supporting our work to beat cancer. We think that’s impressive.
In return, we offer a generous benefits package, a wide range of career and personal development opportunities, and high-quality tools, policies and processes to enable you to do your job well.

How do I apply?
We operate an anonymised shortlisting process in our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion. CVs are required for all applications; but we won’t be able to view them until we invite you for an interview. Instead, we ask you to complete the work history section of the online application form for us to be able to assess you quickly, fairly and objectively.
Our retail teams cover the needs of their stores by working on a rota basis. While a level of flexibility is needed to meet the needs of the business, we don’t forget that you have a life outside of work too.
To support your training and development in this role, you will spend 4 weeks in a training shop, learning from a Training Shop Manager, which may be at a different location to the role you applied for.
Owing to the nature of this position, any offer of employment for this role will be subject to a satisfactory basic DBS check.
