Trainee Buyer - Student Placement Year

at  Penneys

ABOUT YOU

If you’re an undergraduate looking for a 12 month placement before you head back to university for your final year, we’d love to hear from you. If you’re in your last year at university or have already graduated, head back to the careers website to find other roles across the business.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

After your induction, you’ll dive right in! You’ll learn about the department by doing real work with your teams on tasks and projects. A store placement will teach you how stock moves and departments are laid out — and give you a feel for the customer experience that you can only get by being there. With all this great prep, you’ll be able to take on real responsibility from day one!

And if you need to relocate to Dublin for the role:

• We’ll support you with: flights at the start and end of your placement, an additional gross relocation allowance of EUR 1000 in your first month pay to help get you settled in, a bundle of homeware so you don’t have to pack your duvet and pillows and a travel allowance to support with your travel over the holiday season. We’ll also support you opening a bank account and registering for tax and social security in Ireland.
• Not sure where to live? Primark currently partner with Highfield House, student accommodation. You will have the option to stay at Highfield House and if you do, Primark will generously contribute towards 25% of your total annual rent and cover your deposit
