How to apply for this job

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around East London.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

Hand your CV in at the store in person, early in the week, and ask for the store or receiving manager by name.
Stores fill weekend and night-fill slots first, so write "available weekends and nights" in your CV summary line.
