Debenhams launches staff search for new Rugby store

Renowned for its unrivalled portfolio of British design talent, Debenhams is on the look-out for more than 50 retail stars to work in its new store set to open in Rugby this autumn.

Sam Zeen has been recruited as the new store manager who will deliver the new store.

Sam says: "We are confident customers will be delighted with the new store and are excited to showcase our extensive product offering and range of services.

"Opening the store will create more than 50 new permanent jobs and a mixture of seasonal temporary positions for the Christmas season. We're feeling very positive about the creation of new jobs for local people and it is a fantastic opportunity for those interested in developing a career in retail."

To help with recruitment for the new store and to support the local community, store manager Sam has been working with the Rugby Job Centre to help unemployed clients find new careers with Debenhams.

More than 30 enthusiastic Job Centre clients attended a workshop at Warwickshire College before applying for a new, vibrant career with Debenhams Rugby.

Sam continued: "We are looking for people with the passion and drive to deliver the great service our customers deserve. The majority of roles will be on the sales floor, with additional positions available back of house. We would encourage anyone looking for a fast paced and exciting place to work to apply through our website."

The new store will showcase Debenhams' exclusive designer ranges from fashion designers such as Jasper Conran, Henry Holland and Ben De Lisi.

Debenhams Rugby will also boast the most impressive cosmetics department in the area with international brands such as Clarins and Estee Lauder coming to Rugby. The store will also have a fragrance hall and Insomnia café, as well as Womenswear, Accessories, Lingerie, Menswear, Childrenswear and Homeware departments.
