Jenners Information

Jenners is proud to have been the first department store in the UK to be awarded the Investors in People stamp of approval, a clear demonstration of the commitment of Jenners to its staff. It is testament to the strength of combining a traditional, family-owned philosophy with modern training programmes and a flexible approach to employment. We have a surprising number of different career opportunities at Jenners. As well as several hundred sales consultants working in a variety of departments, we also employ tradesmen, bakers, drivers, chefs, warehouse staff, I.T. people and many clerical staff, to name just a few. We are one of Edinburgh's major employers, having a permanent staff of over 750. That figure rises to over 1000 at Christmas with the recruitment of seasonal staff. We offer a variety of working hours and days, which allows people the opportunity to work whilst still taking care of their family commitments. We firmly believe in promoting from within wherever and whenever possible. Our management training scheme on both the buying and selling sides of the business is comprehensive and our unique training in sales and customer care are recognised in the industry for their innovation. Jenners is an exciting place to work. Retail is a fast-moving business and no two days are ever the same. Our buyers are based in Edinburgh, but travel the world to bring back the finest merchandise exclusively for Jenners and there are many fashions shows, special events and celebrity demonstrations throughout the year.
