Monkhouse at Cowes Enterprise College is truly set in the heart of the community. The store is one of our campus stores which means it is situated within the school itself. It is pivotal in providing customers with uniform that gives children the confidence to flourish in their academic life cycle.
A good proportion of this confidence comes from the service and knowledge that our team holds and guides families with. You will play an important role in making this happen by managing all aspects of the store and living by our core values, using them to serve every customer.
