The role is part-time and onsite, with shifts around 10 and 15 hours per week, including at least one weekend shift. The location is Unit J The Brewery Quarter High St, Cheltenham, , GL503FF United Kingdom. If you enjoy helping customers discover style, keeping the floor welcoming, and contributing to a positive team energy, this could be a good fit.

Shaping the Cheltenham floor: a typical day
In customer moments, you’ll greet shoppers, strike up friendly conversations and provide service that makes them feel at home. During peak hours, the focus should be on customers rather than internal projects to sustain the VIBE. You’ll help create a store environment that aligns with the brand’s mystery shop standards and you’ll set a positive example for teammates.
Within the team, collaboration matters. You’ll work alongside colleagues toward shared goals, help in training peers, communicate with warmth, and take part in daily and department meetings to stay aligned.
Operational tasks come next: you’ll become proficient with tills, shipment processing and fitting room guidelines, assist in receiving shipments and keeping back stock areas clean and organised, and support the timely completion of weekly tasks like markdowns, re-tickets, transfers and RTVs. You’ll also stay mindful of loss prevention guidelines and follow health and safety regulations at all times.
On merchandising and display, you’ll uphold the store’s merchandising and cleanliness standards, ensure merchandise is ticketed and the floor is well stocked, help with merchandising and display projects, and keep up to date with current product and trend awareness.
What you’ll need to bring to the shop
- Retail experience isn’t a prerequisite.
- A familiarity with the Urban Outfitters brand and how it appeals to the local market.
- Strong communication abilities.
- Weekend availability, with at least one weekend shift per week.
