We’ve got a thing for a bit of ambition and hunger for hard workers.

Retailer Apprenticeship L2 including Functional Skills in Maths and English
- About the EmployerSchuh is a shoe shop. That much you probably already knew. You probably didn't know that we were born in Edinburgh in 1981 with a simple philosophy: "To provide individual high fashion footwear, sold in a unique and exciting retail environment" Since then, that simple philosophy is still holding true, only we now have over 130 stores across the UK and Ireland, and with the introduction of our kids stores in 2012 we now aspire to help our customers from birth and beyond. In addition we have a highly successful website and a glittering trophy cabinet that tells us that we're pretty good at selling shoes.
