  • You are not afraid to take the initiative where your Store Manager is absent. That’s the sign of a great Assistant Store Manager!

We offer comprehensive benefits that encourage mental, physical, and financial well-being for all VF associates. When it comes to benefits, we’re the total package. Most companies say they offer a competitive salary, an amazing bonus and pension scheme and staff discounts (btw we offer 50%!). And we offer the same. Only different. Along with this you will have:
  • Career ownership, enabling you to build your knowledge and experience across different brands
  • A supportive feedback-based culture where respect and integrity guide us in what we do
  • Tailored training. From an induction to ongoing online and face-to-face training sessions, we are committed to helping you grow, both professionally and personally
Free to Be We strive to foster a culture of belonging based on respect, connection, openness and authenticity. We are committed to building and maintaining a workplace that celebrates the diversity of our associates, allowing them to bring their authentic selves to work every day. As an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, VF is committed to support disadvantaged groups whilst providing equal opportunities for both VF associates and applicants alike. If you liked what you have read and want to join our team then we would be keen to hear from you!
