We're recruiting for our 2025 Sourcing Industrial Placement student to join our Retail Team
We are looking for a placement student to join our Sourcing team for a 12-month period from September 2025. This is a rare and exciting opportunity; you will be given a role with important responsibilities and have the chance to become an integral part of our team whilst building your work experience in a commercial fashion head office.
What will you do as a Sourcing Industrial Placement at N Brown?
We are looking for a proactive student with an enthusiasm for product and understanding the supply chain. The sourcing team is small but well formed, with close ties to buying, sustainability, ethical and quality, so we are looking for someone who is interested in the full picture view of working in a retail business, with a vested interest in understanding where our product is sourced from in more detail. You will be exposed to some commercial, supply chain and research data so an analytical approach is essential, along with a creative eye to work closely with the fabric team and gain a greater understanding of sustainability within the fabrics we buy and the goals we are striving toward.
What skills and experience will you have?
You’ll need to demonstrate the ability to work effectively with your team as well as under your own initiative. Excellent communication and organisation skills are essential as you’ll need to prioritise your workload throughout the placement.
What’s in it for you?
24 days holiday (+ 8 bank holidays) with the option to buy an additional 10 days
Annual bonus scheme
Enhanced maternity and adoption leave
Access to Apricity, a self-funding IVF benefit at a reduced rate
Company pension with up to 8% N Brown contribution
Mental Health support both internally and externally, including access to our wellbeing champions and counselling services
A range of financial wellbeing support
Colleague discount across all N Brown brands
Onsite café with subsidised rates and local restaurant discounts
Life Assurance and Private Medical Insurance
Paid volunteer time – all our colleagues can take a full day paid to volunteer for a charity of their choice
N Brown – who we are and why work for us?
At N Brown, we’re committed to building a diverse workforce and creating an inclusive environment that values equality for all. Our vision is that by ‘championing inclusion, we’ll become the most loved and trusted fashion retailer’. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging are, therefore, at the heart of our culture.
We’re a forward-thinking digital retailer with a financial services proposition to be proud of. We’re customer-obsessed, serving them through three core brands: JD Williams, Simply Be, and Jacamo. We’re experienced, with over 160 years of trading under our belt. We’re inclusive, as we believe in fashion without boundaries; and we’re sustainable, striving to make as little impact on the planet as possible.
In May 2024 we were delighted to be named one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024. We work hard to create a happy and inclusive culture for everyone and we’re so proud to have made this list - as voted for by our very own colleagues
Ways of Working
We offer hybrid working which varies across the business depending on the role you’re in. Our Head Office is located in the Northern Quarter in Manchester City Centre. So if you are travelling by train, tram or bus we’re perfectly located, plus we’re surrounded by cool cafes, trendy bars and the best places to eat
Our full-time working hours are 36.17 per week over 5-days. We don’t have strict working hours therefore there is some flexibility around start and finish times as long as you are meeting the needs of the business.
Our promise to you:
We’re an equal opportunity employer and value diversity. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, colour, national origin, sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
What happens when you apply to a role at N Brown?
As soon as we receive your application, we’ll send you an email to let you know. We always aim to come back to you as soon as possible with an update and we really appreciate you taking the time to apply for a role with us. Good luck
