Q1. I've seen a vacancy on your website, how do I apply?
Just click on the vacancy you're interested in, fill in the online application form and then attach your CV.

Q2. I've sent you my CV for one of your vacancies, what happens next?
When the closing date has passed, we'll take a look at your application and then get in touch to let you know if we'll be inviting you in for an interview or not. We do receive a high volume of applications, so although we aim to contact applicants within 3 weeks, please understand that sometimes it can take a bit longer.

Q3. Where can I send my CV for any future vacancies?
Unfortunately we don't have the ability to keep speculative CVs on file for future vacancies. Our Current Vacancies section is updated regularly though, so keep checking back for the latest positions.

Q4. Do you offer work experience/placements?
We recognise that experience within a working environment is required as part of many school and university courses, so we offer work experience and work placements throughout our business. We work closely with the fashion retail academy and take students in for work experience 3 times a year.

Q5. I am not a resident of the UK and require a work permit to work in the UK. Will you sponsor me?
In line with current UK legislation, before BHS can make any offer of employment, successful applicants must demonstrate eligibility to work in the UK. For more information please refer to www.ukvisas.gov.uk.

Q6. Where are your offices?
Our Head Office is based in Marylebone in central London, and our Distribution Centre is in Atherstone, Warwickshire.

Q7. Can I apply for more than one job?
Yes you can. However please think about the most appropriate role that matches your skills and experience. Only apply for suitable roles.

Q8. I know that Bhs has a number of overseas Stores. Do you have any vacancies overseas?
We have many International Stores around the world. Local franchise partners operate these Stores. They recruit in their local market and their staff are employed by them, not Bhs. We do have an International Division in Head Office that liaises closely with our franchise partners. Any vacancies in this team will be advertised under Head Office opportunities.

Q9. When do you begin recruiting for Christmas staff in your stores?
We start recruiting for our Christmas staff from August onwards. Most of our temporary Christmas opportunities are filled by the beginning of November each year. We advertise these roles in store and online.

Q10. How often is the website updated?
The vacancies we have on our site remain there until a candidate has been successful at interview. However, because we are regularly interviewing people, some vacancies may have already been filled when you see them on the site.

Q11. Why is my local store not showing on the website?
Only those stores with current vacancies are displayed on the site.

Q12. How many stores can I apply for?
If the store of your choice has no suitable vacancies you can change your application to another store.

Q13. If I am not successful can I apply again?
You can, but as we hold all records on our central system for a set period of time, you'll need to wait six months after your initial application to do so.
