 Marks & Spencer aims to recruit 200 people as part of its 2012 graduate and business placement programme. The retailer will be offering approximately 140 graduate roles to be offered in stores and head office, as well as 60 one-year placements
for undergraduates.
Rolls up for grabs at Marks & Spencer include retail management roles within its UK stores as well as specialist head office schemes in areas such as product technology, food development and fashion design. General buying and merchandising programmes are also being offered, and for the first time M&S is offering seven specialist e-commerce roles to support the brand’s ambitious multichannel retailing growth.
“In a fast moving industry like retail, fresh and innovative thinking is essential to keep you ahead of the competition,” says Kay Jones-Wolsey, Head of Recruitment at M&S. “Our Graduate and BPP schemes provide us with a pipeline of new and exciting talent, enabling us to develop the next generation of retail stars.”
Competition for both schemes is likely to be high, last year M&S received over 11,000 applications, and with the starting salary for graduates starting at £23,500 it is an attractive opportunity. Graduates interested in working for the retailer from September 2012 have until December 2011 to apply.
