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.

About the placement

You don’t watch from the sidelines around here — you get stuck in. Through hands-on experience and responsibility from the get-go, you’ll gain a vast insight into how our business works and contribute to it from day one. Inspiring, supportive colleagues will make you feel welcome and valued. And we’ll also help you to develop your skill set and grow your potential through supported learning with on-the-job training, masterclasses, and an assigned buddy.

What you’ll need
You have a genuine connection and interest in numbers and figures, an eye for detail and a real awareness of timelines — even when the pressure is on. You’ll use your curiosity to get to know our network of professionals and drive excellence. You won’t be short of initiative either. In fact, you’ll be happy to handle your own workload with the support of others. If you’re studying Fashion, Business Management, Accounting, Economics, Mathematics or a Commercial based degree, the Primark placement in Merchandising is the perfect fit for you.

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.

Why should you apply?

In Primark, we’ve always said everyone’s invited and we’re committed to making everyone feel safe and comfortable to be themselves. We believe that a diverse, inclusive, and accessible environment elevates us all, and enables creative ideas and collaboration to flourish. Because when we work together, we can accomplish so much more.

And yes, this place moves fast, and it’s growing even faster but we’re committed to providing the best, and most socially and environmentally ethical fashion that’s affordable for everyone. Primark Cares is our commitment to reducing fashion waste, halving our carbon footprint, and improving the lives of the people who make our products.

This placement has real impact, you could even see the results of your work, out on the shop floor Make your CV look amazing and if you wow us, there could be a permanent job up for grabs when you graduate.

Isn’t it time you put theory into practice? We think so. Apply now for a Primark placement and start owning your journey.

Closing date: Friday, 15th November 2024. We reserve the right to close the application window early should we receive sufficient applications
