Move Up guides
Explore UK retail work
Store operations, buying, merchandising and management offer different kinds of experience. Clarifying your responsibilities is more useful than treating retail as one uniform career path.
What makes an opportunity a good fit?
Compare hours, location, customer-facing responsibilities and progression expectations. Sector demand or a management title does not establish that the particular role meets a sponsored route’s requirements.
How does the work route fit?
A suitable employer, a job offer and permission to work are separate milestones. Current vacancies and any sponsorship need to be confirmed for the particular role. Use the work-route guides alongside your career research, then talk to Move Up about your experience and the opportunity you want to explore.
