New Look

Company Details

New Look is a very famous retailing name on the high streets of Britain, but the company also has a presence in other countries such as France, Poland, Malta, Singapore and Thailand. Around the world, New Look retails from over 1,100 stores and employs over 20,000 members of staff in retail roles and support function to their business.

The New Look name has been around for over four decades, founded in 1969 by University of Wales graduate Tom Singh when he was just 20 years old.

In the UK alone, there are now over 600 branches of New Look, so there is a decent chance that you can find a full or part time retail job at a store not too far from where you are living or studying. (To find your nearest branch you can use the New Look store finder here.)

Your most likely way into a retail job at New Look will probably be as a Sales Advisor in a local store. We often advertise these Sales Advisor roles at New Look on the e4s website so you can check at the bottom of the page to see if there are any current vacancies live.

And, if you are wondering what sort of candidates New Look tries to track down for their retail vacancies, then here is what their careers website says:

“We recruit natural ‘New Lookers’. People who are customer champions and have courage, curiosity, initiative and bravery. We want real go-getters and self-starters. What we expect from you is the drive and determination to progress. Because the resources and tools for you to success are there. It's up to you to reach out and get the most out of them...”

New Look also has two Support Centres, so any students based in London or Weymouth could check whether there are any vacancies currently being advertised at those. The London New Look Support Centre deals with Buying, Merchandising, Design, Multichannel, International Partnerships and Marketing, whereas the Weymouth one specialises in IT, Finance, Audit, Procurement and Human Resources.

There could also be full time part time or temporary job opportunities at the New Look distribution facility at Lymedale in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.

Take a new look at the retailer’s social media channels like Facebook and Twitter to get a fuller flavour of their business (we’ve embedded them to the left for your convenience). You should also do some extra research about jobs at New Look on their own Careers Website.

And, if nothing is currently available at New Look in your area just at the moment, then don’t despair - we have hundreds of other opportunities for retail jobs all over the UK.
