Yes you can. Although the selection criteria may be similar, most of our positions are very different. So please think about the type of role that will suit your skill set and your ultimate career goals, and only apply for appropriate vacancies.
There is nothing to stop you from applying but in order for us to process your application, you must be able to demonstrate to us that you are eligible to work in the UK. We will ask you to be able to confirm this during the selection process. If you are not eligible to work in the UK, we will not offer you employment with us.
Yes you will. You will receive a confirmation email advising you that you haven’t been successful and why. We will also advise you of what we will do with your details and application.
Friendly people and lots of questions. We'll want you to tell us about your background and we’ll want to find out whether your skills match our behavioural competency based framework and the role for which you're applying. Don’t forget that interviews work two ways, so you'll be encouraged to ask questions about Monsoon Accessorize in return.
Of course. A member of the Resourcing team will provide you with feedback and details of how we wish to proceed with your application at each stage of the recruitment process. We encourage all of our candidates who are invited to share their candidate feedback with us too.
We do have some opportunities for work experience but they tend to be very limited, usually consisting of placements between 1 – 4 weeks and generally in our Buying, Merchandising or Design teams. To be considered for work experience, you will need to be currently studying a relevant course and hoping to pursue a career in your chosen field. In order to take up a work experience placement, you must be able to travel daily into our Head Office which is based in West London.

We have many International branches around the world in over 50 markets. Local franchise partners operate these branches and are responsible for their own recruitment in their local market. Their staff are employed by them, not Monsoon Accessorize. We do have an International Operations function based in Head Office that liaises closely with our franchise partners. Any vacancies in this team will be advertised under our Head Office opportunities.
We have a variety of opportunities, part-time and full-time, temporary and permanent. The best course of action is to approach your local branch direct, speak to the Branch Manager who will be able to advise you of their current vacancies.
You can download and complete an application form from our website. Once complete, please post or drop it into your preferred branch. Branch addresses can be found in our store locator. If the branch address is not listed on our website or you are applying to work in a new branch then please post your application form to:
