“We’re looking to recruit a diverse range of team members that represent the communities we serve every year,” Boots head of recruitment, Donna Hodgins said.
“Our roles are perfect opportunities for anyone looking to explore career paths in the retail industry to gain valuable work experience that could potentially lead to a permanent position in future.”
New joiners will benefit from Boots’ team member benefits. This includes a market competitive hourly rate and day-one access to the generous Boots team member discount scheme.
Boots has recently enhanced the scheme for all team members to support with the rising cost of living, offering 45% off all Boots own brand products until at least January 2023.
This covers over 6,300 products, including the new Boots everyday range, which features great quality essentials from 50p (28p with discount).
Many roles are already hiring, giving successful applicants a long lead time to help them acclimatise to their role before the busy Christmas period.
