Penneys are already looking for Christmas staff members for one of their Dublin stores.

The high street retailer is searching for temporary retail assistants for the Mary Street location, with some of the roles starting as early as next month. The successful candidates will get 20-24 hour contracts, and must be able to start from September and October. The job description advises that applicants must be fully flexible as to which days they would work, and the position would not suit people who are only looking for weekend/evening work. It says:

"Adored by fashion fans and value seekers alike Primark is widely established as the destination store for keeping up with the latest looks without breaking the bank. "If you are an enthusiastic and driven individual who is looking to join our fast paced environment selling amazing fashion at amazing prices then this is the role for you.
