Primark has announced that an estimated 400 jobs are to be axed throughout UK stores.
A spokesperson said that Northern Ireland stores are included in the reduction of jobs.
The retailer employs around 29,000 people across its 191 UK stores.
Primark made the announcement as part of proposed changes to the management structure within its UK stores as part of an ongoing programme to simplify its retail operations.
They say the proposed changes are designed to provide clearer accountability, greater flexibility and more management support on the shop floor to better meet the needs of the business and customers today.
It is estimated that the proposed changes would see an overall reduction of around 400 jobs across the UK store estate as a result of roles being removed and a new entry-level management role being created.
Kari Rodgers, Primark Retail Director for the UK said: “The changes we’re proposing will deliver a simplified and more consistent management structure across all of our stores, provide more opportunities for career progression and offer greater flexibility, all of which are designed to help us provide the best possible experience for both our customers and our colleagues.
"We are now focused on supporting our colleagues who are affected by these proposed changes and will be going through the consultation process.”
Primark will now enter a consultation process with impacted employees and their representatives.
