Jobcentre Plus is working in partnership with national high street retailer, Sports World, to recruit over 80 staff required for their new store opening in May this year in Bentley Bridge Retail Park, Wednesfield.

Snelly Patel, project development officer for Bentley Bridge Retail Park, said:

“This is a fantastic opportunity for people to work at a new store in Wednesfield town centre. Stores are very busy and need hard working and flexible employees who appreciate a challenge.

“Full and part time vacancies for sales assistants are up for grabs, as well as opportunities for a full time store manager, assistant manager, footwear manager, processing and replenishment manager, head cashier, floor supervisor and shoe supervisor.

“Previous retail experience is required for the managerial positions, however full training will be given to suitable people for the sales assistants posts. The store is open 7 days a week, so there are also opportunities for weekend staff too.”

The Company offers scope for career development and a comprehensive training programme in return for flexibility and a commitment to providing great customer service. Employee benefits include a generous staff discount, paid holiday and a staff uniform.

The company is looking to hold open days on Tuesday 5th April, 2005 and Thursday 7th April between 10.00am to 4.00pm at Chapel Court Jobcentre in Queen Street, Wolverhampton. Interested applicants can turn up on either of these two days for further information and an interview.
