Hopes high new Primark is opening soon in Craigavon as jobs advertised

Hopes are high that the retail giant will be opening well before Christmas as work is at an advanced stage in Rushmere Shopping Centre.

The retailer is taking over the former Debenhams store which closed 16 months ago.

The appearance of jobs on the Primark website has given fresh hope for the beleaguered Rushmere Shopping Centre which went into liquidation in June this year.

Jobs include full time and part time positions. Those advertised are Visual Merchandising Retail Assistant, People & Culture (HR) Supervisor, Cash Office Retail Assistant, Operations Support, Stockroom Retail Assistant Weekend, Cash Office Retail Assistant Weekend, Retail Assistant, Retail Assistant Weekend & Evening.

Most of the jobs are paying a wage of just over £10.10 per hour.
