Trainee Merchandiser - 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 induction, you’ll get stuck into sales and stock monitoring, solving data inaccuracies, and producing analysis reports. You’ll learn about a department by doing real work with your teams on tasks and projects.
You’ll strengthen relationships and share your ideas at team meetings, grow what you know at masterclasses, and have regular catch ups with your assigned buddy and line manager to support your development. So when you present to your Director at the end of your placement, you won’t be short of things to say.

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
