Description

Join our store teams this Autumn/Winter and help us deliver an incredible experience for our customers.

In 2021, Next and Gap were delighted to enter into a joint venture, trading the well-loved Gap brand within the UK. We are looking for Merchandise Assistants to be part of the joint venture business supporting the brand operating within the Next plc group.
Today, Gap is represented globally in more than 1400 stores in over 40 countries, and online with headquarters in New York, London, Shanghai, Tokyo and San Francisco. Our clothing celebrates modern optimistic American style, rich in heritage, crafted with care, where our essentials are iconic, and quality endures. We stand for inclusivity for all; we champion diverse ideas that transcend generations, geographies, and genders. We do more than make clothing, we shape culture.
If you have ideas, are creative, talented and want to work with other phenomenal people, leaving the world a little better than how we have found it, we'd love to meet you.


What You'll Do As part of our in-store team, you'll work on the sales floor, in the stockroom, or across both areas, playing an important role in keeping the store running smoothly during our busy Autumn/Winter season.

  • Deliver fast, friendly service and help customers find what they need
  • Keep the sales floor well stocked, organised, and easy to shop
    Ensure the shop floor is clean, tidy, and visually appealing

In the stockroom, you'll:

  • Efficiently process deliveries and replenish the sales floor to ensure it remains fully stocked and presentable
  • Pick, pack, and transfer stock to meet customer timescales and ensure accurate parcel processing
    Keep the back of house clean, safe and organised

Where needed, you may support both areas.


What You'll Bring

To succeed in this role, you will be:

  • Friendly and approachable, always happy to help
  • A team player who stays calm in busy moments
  • Reliable, organised, and ready to get involved
  • Keen to learn and take pride in doing a great job
    Respectful, committed and eager to play your part
