This section is full of useful information on how to apply. If your question isn't answered here, please don't hesitate to contact us.
We are unable to employ anyone who doesn't have the right to work in the UK. We are also unable to apply for work permits for individual jobs until all UK and European Economic Area employment sources have been exhausted. If you need any more information on this, please visit the UK government site
In exceptional circumstances, if we're unable to recruit within the UK/EEA, we will apply for work permits for highly specialised roles or hard-to-find skills when all other options are exhausted
We have a responsibility to protect our business, employees and customers. As a result, everyone who's offered a role will have to undergo a number of verification checks carried out by a third party.
The checks will vary in relation to the position you applied for, and will include current/previous employment, education, residency, and relevant professional qualifications. Unfortunately if the results of these don't add up with what you've told us, we'll have to take back our offer.
Further details on the process will be provided at interview stage.
Aside from any requisite technical skills and qualifications, we look for initiative, good communication and team-working skills, as well as the ability to inspire others. For more senior and managerial positions, your proven leadership ability will also be important.
This differs depending on whether you join us in a retail store, contact centre, as a graduate or in one of our professional functions. Please go to the application process section of the website for further information.
We recommend you don't apply for more than three jobs at once, and you should take care when applying via your job basket to apply for the most appropriate roles first.
Yes. To do so you'll need to email careers@vodafone.co.uk with the job title and reference number of the role you applied for. Then our Resourcing team will remove your application against this specific role, but you will still be registered on our candidate database.
Simply log in to your account, cancel any alerts you have set up and email us at careers@vodafone.co.uk. We'll then make sure your account is cancelled.
Please go to the contact us section of the website for further guidance.
General enquiries can usually be sent in by emailing careers@vodafone.co.uk. But please do not send in speculative CVs or applications via this email address, as our resourcing team can't match them from there to a vacancy. Alternatively if you register with our candidate database via My Career section of this website, they can.
As well as informal discussions with your line manager, you'll have an annual performance review called your 'Performance Dialogue'. This is designed to help you set clear goals for the upcoming year, and identify the skills or support you need to achieve them.
Your personal development and training will vary depending on your role, business area and ability.
However, all the programmes you will receive are designed to help you get the most out of your career. This could be a classroom-based or on-line training course or via home learning.
The sheer size and diversity of our business means there are some great opportunities for you to go onwards and upwards. Every year we successfully manage to recruit over 1,000 people who are already in our business, into new roles.
Whatever you want to do, whichever direction you want your career to take, there is a good chance we can help make it happen. All our roles are advertised on our internal applications system – before they’re advertised externally. There's also the opportunity to apply for roles within the international Vodafone group of companies.
We think it's great if you want to move about and broaden your experiences; but it does all hang on your suitability for that role and the availability. This includes secondments to other Group operating companies.
Our internal vacancies site contains all current positions available, and also means you can receive job alerts, so you can be notified when vacancies that meet your requirements become available.
No, not at all.
Whichever area of the business you join, you'll have a comprehensive induction that includes a one-day 'welcome' event, on-line learning processes and on-the-job activities.
We have nearly 400 retail stores, stretching from one end of the country to the other (please see our store locator to find your nearest one) and our contact centres are based in Didsbury, Newark, Newbury, Stoke-on-Trent and Trowbridge.
The majority of all our other roles - with the exception of our field-based sales teams who are likely to be home-based - will usually be located in and around our Head Offices in Newbury. There are also some occasional opportunities based on-site at client locations.
Locations will be specific against each individual job advertised.
Where we don't have that many spaces, we give them to the people who need them most. But if you're not disabled, car share or classed as a priority, you'll need to join a waiting list until a space becomes available.
At certain locations we have an 'opt-out' scheme, where there are rewards for using alternative means of transport. These include our Newbury and Banbury sites, where a free local bus service is provided.
Sorry, but we're not able to offer work experience, only full or part time positions.
We offer a great selection of rewards and benefits. Please go to the Rewards & benefits section of the website for specific information.
We'll reimburse one membership fee of a relevant professional body per year, provided it's essential for working in your profession - such as the Law Society. We'll also help with your professional development too.
You can apply to be sponsored for an educational qualification that relates to your role or is agreed as part of your development plan - normally by distance learning or evening study.
If you ask for sponsorship during the recruitment process, the senior manager concerned will decide whether to approve your application. If it's agreed, Vodafone will pay course fees, examination fees and membership costs.
This will be entirely dependent on the level at which you join and can be discussed during the recruitment process.
