"I always knew I wanted to work in fashion. I studied Fashion and Textile Retailing at the University of Manchester and was extremely lucky to get a job at Peacocks as soon as I graduated. I worked as a Level 1 Assistant Buyer and I couldn’t believe how much I learnt in the short time I was there. I moved to London to work for a ladieswear company and lasted 1 year! It felt like I had taken a backward step and was not being challenged as much as I was to at Peacocks…so I moved back to Cardiff! I am now a level 2 Assistant Buyer with my own areas to buy! I am constantly learning new things and I now feel I have a true understanding of what the buying role involves. The office is so close to Cardiff centre which is amazing for shopping and after work drinks. I am so happy I made the right decision to move back and am looking forward to furthering my career at Peacocks."

Kirsten Assistant Buyer, Accessories

"I started my career as a fashion design graduate working in London for a middle market high street department store on their graduate scheme. After working my way up to Buyer I decided to look for a different challenge in the growing value retail sector and joined Peacocks 9 years ago, originally as a Buyer. The Buying culture at Peacocks was different to what I had experienced previously, with a much flatter management structure. Buyers are encouraged to really take control of their departments & become experts in their products. The job is far more hands on and the pace is fast so if you really love product and want to know everything about it, then it’s a great place to work! I've also been lucky to work with a great team of people here and had some great development training over the years to help my career. I have a gained a Level 5 diploma from the CLM on management & leadership which has been invaluable in helping me progress to Senior buyer & now Head of Buying.

Originally, as a die hard Londoner the thought that there is life outside London was daunting! However living in Cardiff has been fantastic for me and my family. The shopping and social life is excellent plus we have the countryside on our doorstop! We also have the beach a mere 20 minutes away - anything I ever wanted to do in London, I can easily do here. Another bonus is avoiding the endless journeys on the train and tube as my desk is only 15 minutes away from home!"

Claire Head of Basics

"I have been working for Peacocks for the last few years and love it! I graduated with a degree in Psychology but with a love for numbers and fashion. After doing my research- Merchandising seemed the perfect career! I started my career in London working as an Allocator for Warehouse. I then moved for a promotion to Arcadia (Miss Selfridge) and continued with my career as an entry level Assistant Merchandiser. Again moving after a number of years to Debenhams. I then received a call from a company asking me whether I would consider a role at Peacocks based in Cardiff. I jumped at the chance and have never looked back!

Cardiff is such a vibrant, up and coming city with lots to do, friendly people and the seaside a stone’s throw away. Peacocks is a great company to work for- still growing, still evolving. They recognise a job well done and help you in order to reach your potential. With all the help and support I have received I have recently been promoted to Junior Merchandiser and I am now responsible for the running of my own department. I look forward to the continuous growth of the company and to what opportunities lie ahead for my career with Peacocks"

Helen Junior Merchandiser, Knitwear

"I started with the Langholm EWM Marketing Department in 2009 in the role of Marketing Coordinator. With my background in graphic design I became more and more involved with the visual and creative side of the marketing process, and eventually moved onto brand coordination and creative design. Since moving to the role of Creative Designer I have been involved in the creation of window schemes, advertising, branding and art direction on many photoshoots.

Moving to the Cardiff office all the way from bonnie Scotland has been a big change for me, but working with a larger creative team and moving to the fast-developing capital of Wales has given me the opportunity to accelerate my skills in a dynamic studio atmosphere. The Peacocks building is a fantastic purpose-built environment, housing some of the most forward thinking individuals I've come across in my career."

Mark Senior Creative Designer

"I've been with Peacocks for 13 years and throughout this time have seen and been part of many changes. The business has continued to evolve with the demands of the changing retail climate and although it can sometimes be an immensely challenging environment, is also extremely rewarding. I'm proud to be part of one of the biggest value fashion chains on the high street, but why not, come and find out for yourself!"

Marc Customer Services Manager

Embracing Equal Opportunities

It isn't surprising that as a business employing over 8,000 colleagues and operating both nationally and internationally, our commitment to embracing difference and promoting fairness at work is continually evolving. We realise it isn't just about doing what is right but it makes good business sense to have a diverse workplace.

We are all different and everyone has an important contribution to make within the business. We want to ensure that our Equality policies are well communicated whilst fairly and consistency managed right from the outset. This starts with the recruitment process and continues throughout the working relationship, making sure all colleagues are confident they have access to equal and fair treatment across all our policies and working practices.

At Peacocks we know that whilst the world around us continues to evolve we need to develop ways of working that reflect these changes and that continue to support our commitment to provide a workplace where everyone is valued.

This document applies to employees in Anglo Global Property Limited, registered number: 10688906.

Registered in England and Wales at the registered office: One St Peter’s Square Manchester, UK, M2 3DE

All reference to “employer” or “organisation means the company that employs you.

As part of any recruitment process, the organisation collects and processes personal data relating to job applicants. The organisation is committed to being transparent about how it collects and uses that data and to meeting its data protection obligations.

What information does the organisation collect?

The organisation collects a range of information about you. This includes:

• your name, address and contact details, including email address and telephone number;
• details of your qualifications, skills, experience and employment history;
• information about your current level of remuneration, including benefit entitlements;
• whether or not you have a disability for which the organisation needs to make reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process;
• information about your entitlement to work in the UK; and
• equal opportunities monitoring information, including information about your ethnic origin, health, and religion or belief.

The organisation collects this information in a variety of ways. For example, data might be contained in application forms, CVs or resumes, obtained from your passport or other identity documents, or collected through interviews.

The organisation will also collect personal data about you from third parties, such as recruitment agencies, Jobcentre Plus or other external agencies that have referred you, references supplied by former employers and information from credit checks for some positions.

Data will be stored in a range of different places, including on your application record, in HR management systems and on other IT systems (including email).

Why does the organisation process personal data?

The organisation needs to process data to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract with you. It also needs to process your data to enter into a contract with you.

In some cases, the organisation needs to process data to ensure that it is complying with its legal obligations. For example, it is required to check a successful applicant's eligibility to work in the UK before employment starts, and we are required to track the religion/beliefs of candidates and employees in Northern Ireland.

The organisation has a legitimate interest in processing personal data during the recruitment process and for keeping records of the process. Processing data from job applicants allows the organisation to manage the recruitment process, assess and confirm a candidate's suitability for employment and decide to whom to offer a job. The organisation may also need to process data from job applicants to respond to and defend against legal claims.

Where the organisation relies on legitimate interests as a reason for processing data, it has considered whether or not those interests are overridden by the rights and freedoms of employees or workers and has concluded that they are not.

The organisation processes health information if it needs to make reasonable adjustments to the recruitment process for candidates who have a disability. This is to carry out its obligations and exercise specific rights in relation to employment.

Where the organisation processes other special categories of data, such as information about ethnic origin, health or religion/belief (Northern Ireland), this is for equal opportunities monitoring purposes.

For some roles, the organisation is obliged to seek information about criminal convictions and offences. Where the organisation seeks this information, it does so because it is necessary for it to carry out its obligations and exercise specific rights in relation to employment.

If your application is unsuccessful, the organisation will keep your personal data on file in case there are future employment opportunities for which you may be suited. You are free to ask us to remove your data from our systems at any time.

Who has access to data?

Your information will be shared internally for the purposes of the recruitment exercise. This includes members of the HR and recruitment team, interviewers involved in the recruitment process, managers in the business area with a vacancy and IT staff if access to the data is necessary for the performance of their roles.

In some cases, we will collect data about you from third parties, such as employment agencies, former employers when gathering references or credit reference agencies. Any credit check is classed as a “soft” search and is usually only visible to yourself.

We will only share your data with third parties for the purposes of assessing your application for employment. This will be with authorised third parties that have been engaged by us such as external consultants, recruitment agencies, Jobcentre Plus etc. We require third parties to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

The organisation will not transfer your data outside the European Economic Area.

How does the organisation protect data?

The organisation takes the security of your data seriously. It has internal policies and controls in place to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by our employees in the proper performance of their duties.

For how long does the organisation keep data?

If your application for employment is unsuccessful, the organisation will hold your data on file for 6 months after the end of the relevant recruitment process. At the end of that period [or if you have requested it], your data is deleted or destroyed.

If your application for employment is successful, personal data gathered during the recruitment process will be transferred to your personnel file and retained during your employment. The periods for which your data will be held will be provided to you in a new privacy notice.

Your rights

As a data subject, you have a number of rights. You can:

• access and obtain a copy of your data on request;
• require the organisation to change incorrect or incomplete data;
• require the organisation to delete or stop processing your data, for example where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes of processing;
• object to the processing of your data where the organisation is relying on its legitimate interests as the legal ground for processing; and
• ask the organisation to stop processing data for a period if data is inaccurate or there is a dispute about whether or not your interests override the organisation's legitimate grounds for processing data.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact June Carruthers, Group Company Secretary, email gdpr@ewm.co.uk. You can make a subject access request by emailing SAR@ewm.co.uk.

If you believe that the organisation has not complied with your data protection rights, you can complain to the Information Commissioner.

What if you do not provide personal data?

You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide data to the organisation during the recruitment process. However, if you do not provide the information, the organisation may not be able to process your application properly or at all.

You are under no obligation to provide information for equal opportunities monitoring purposes and there are no consequences for your application if you choose not to provide such information.

Recruitment processes are not based solely on automated decision-making.
