Jobs & Training

Nearly 3,000 local residents have helped us to build Westfield Stratford City.

As we move towards the centre opening in September of this year, there will be recruitment and training opportunities available in retail, leisure and hospitality for over 350 different employers.

Recruitment for most employers will not start in earnest until the summer.  Keep an eye on our News & Media section for more announcements on retailers opening at Westfield Stratford City.  If you are currently employed in the retail or hospitality sector, you will need to apply directly to these retailers.

If you are interested in working directly for Westfield, please visit our Westfield Careers website.  

If you are currently not in employment and are looking to get into the retail or hospitality sector, then go to your local JobCentre Plus office to register your interest.

When we open later this year, our on-site retail academy - the Skills Place - will be our permanent training centre for people working at the centre and their employers.  It will also continue to help local people get the training they need to find their first job in retail, leisure and hospitality.  The Skills Place will be managed on Westfield's behalf by Seetec.
