In a press release today, Primark said: “Each role plays an important part in creating a fantastic store experience.
“As a retail assistant, day to day responsibilities vary from restocking the sales floor to serving customers at the tills, while stockroom colleagues are responsible for processing all deliveries in and out of the stockroom.
“Interested applicants can find more detail on vacancies and how to apply at careers.primark.com.”

“But now I need a brilliant team to join me! I can say from experience that Primark is a fantastic place to work and it’s also a very exciting time to be joining us as we’re a growing business and stalwart on the Great British high street.
“So far there’s been a lot of anticipation from customers, and we can’t wait to share more with everyone very soon before our doors finally open.”
