Whether it’s volunteering for a local charity, running a marathon for a cause, or being an active member of a university society or community group, you can show us you genuinely care about people and the planet.
You’re used to managing multiple deadlines, perhaps through a leadership position in a university society or previous project‑management experience.
You’ll be reviewing copy and gathering creative assets, so a high level of accuracy and a proactive mindset are essential.
Confident in presenting ideas and building relationships with stakeholders across different departments.
Able to commit to working for 12 weeks during Summer 2026, starting in June.
You are legally entitled to work in the UK and happy to travel to our Regional Distribution Centres when required.

What you’ll receive
10% in‑store discount.
Pro‑rata holiday allowance.
Enhanced professional development and mentoring.
A chance to work on high‑profile projects that impact local communities nationwide.
Plus, more of the perks you deserve.
Plus an additional 10% London Weighting.
