centre:mk have announced that their stores, restaurants and cafes are recruiting for around 300 new vacancies from entry level sales assistants to senior management positions, following various store openings and upcoming seasonal needs in 2021.
The shopping centre, who has continuously seen footfall numbers above the national benchmark, has gone from strength to strength, with several high-profile new store openings throughout this year and more openings planned before Christmas. With the successful ‘Job Show’ recently returning in September, the centre has always been a hub for showcasing the array of careers available in the region. centre:mk is now launching a recruitment drive of its own, to support the retailers and brands seeking new recruits to fill around 300 positions.
A recruitment “Hub” will be located in the Guest Services lounge at the heart of centre:mk, on Silbury Arcade, where vacancies will be featured all in one place, easily accessed by browsing through them on the electronic tablets located there. The roles that stores are recruiting for range in experience levels, from junior customer service assistants right through to Store Manager and deputy positions. There are flexible opportunities available too, with both permanent and temporary vacancies, varying in hours and contract lengths. Shops, restaurants and cafes with vacancies will be given a window sticker to highlight that they are hiring, so interested applicants can go inside to speak to a manager to start a conversation about what is on offer. All vacancies will also feature on the centre’s website, centre:mk.com, so can also be accessed at home as well.
Kevin Duffy, Centre Director said of the drive:
“centre:mk is a wonderful place to work and with around 24 million guests visiting each year, it’s a truly vibrant, regional shopping destination.
