Being part of Jarrolds is more than a little bit different to working at any other department store. For a start, we are wholly independent meaning all the decisions about the store are all made right here in Norwich. And we truly live by our values, when you work here it genuinely feels like being part of one big family. Whatever the day brings we are in it together, showing support and care for each other.

Our Sales Teams are the first point of contact with our customers and therefore ambassadors for the Jarrolds brand. When you work in our stores you won’t just become an expert at selling products, you’ll also be a brilliant host, welcoming our guests and helping them find whatever they need. We strive to make everyone who visits us feels special and create unique and memorable experiences. This is why our customers love shopping with us.
