Head Office Work Experience
Interested in retail? Spend a week with us on our Head Office Work Experience and see how a national business runs behind the scenes.
The team
In Comms, we tell the story of Wickes, both to our colleagues and to the outside world. From sharing exciting updates with our teams, to creating content for Instagram and Linkedin, we help people understand who we are and what we do as an employer and a company.
During your week with us, you’ll get hands‑on experience creating content, learning how ideas turn into real posts, videos, and stories that people see every day. It’s a great role if you’re creative, curious, and enjoy things like social media, writing, or video.
