Start date: September 2023

Creative legends start here

Do you have an eye for the latest fashion trends and your finger on the pulse as to what is hot right now? Are you creative with a flair for innovation? Then apply for our graduate programme in Design – because it’s never too soon to think about your future legacy.

On this programme, you’ll draw on your imagination and feel for fabrics, work alongside the Design teams in Clothing & Home, get involved with in-depth research, investigate new trends, and contribute towards designing products that will arrive in our stores. This is your opportunity to use your commercial outlook and customer-focused mindset to deliver designs with real, lasting impact. To make your mark on the world of fashion retail.

The programme lasts for two years, with four six-month rotations. Across these rotations, you’ll work within key business areas such as Menswear, Kidswear, Womenswear or Lingerie. When working in these business areas, you’ll meet global suppliers, discover the unique sells of working within our different departments, and decide where you want your career to take you. The final six months of the programme will give you the opportunity to select your final rotation in the area you want to specialise in.

Whether you want to go on to big things in our diverse, global organisation or use the programme to pursue your ultimate ambitions, we’ll give you the experience, mentoring and guidance to succeed.

Ideally, you’ll hold a design-related degree. Naturally, your sense of style will be legendary.

The talented people we’re looking for on this programme will be confident, highly organised and comfortable working under pressure. They’ll also be motivated and have high standards – these are critical to every future legend’s success.
