People will be able to apply for the jobs at the new store, which is being developed in the Mander Centre, from today.

There are a variety of different jobs available, including visual, stockroom and merchandise assistant roles and sales advisors.

Tweeting about the vacancies, @DebenhamsJobs said: "Our 1st #Wolverhampton colleague vacancies are now live! Don't miss the opportunity to work in our #fabulous #newstore #morerolescomingsoon."

The newly-recruited employees will work at the 93,000 sq ft site, which is the centre piece of the Mander Centre's massive £35 million revamp in Wolverhampton.

The new Debenhams is taking shape in Wolverhampton

Contractors Bowmer & Kirkland have now put the finishing touches to structural work on the four-floor building, which occupies the site of the former TJ Hughes and Tesco outlets.

Currently, the site is undergoing a 17-week interior fit-out to transform the empty shell. There will then be a two-week period to bring in new stock before the shop's grand opening in October.

Work started on the new Debenhams branch in January last year. It will feature three floors of retail and a food court, along with underground and roof level car parks and three separate entrances.

The department store is set to open alongside the fully revamped centre, which retail bosses say will see a raft of new shops open at the site.

Councillor Mike Hardacre, Labour councillor for Park ward said: "I regard the arrival of Debenhams in the city centre one of the most important developments in retail in the city for many years.

"Most importantly, aside from those of us who enjoy the retail therapy aspect, the store's arrival will give a major boost to jobs in the region and provide much needed growth."
