Requirements

  • You don’t need a specific degree to apply, but you will need a genuine interest in how businesses work for customers and colleagues. We’re a leader in one of the fastest-moving industries in the world, so you’ll need to be hands-on, able to work at pace and learn fast.
  • Candidates must have the right to work in the UK for the full duration of their preferred programme.

Responsibilities

  • You’ll be close to customers and colleagues, learning our routines and processes that make sure our stores run efficiently. You’ll be hands-on, working across all the departments, understanding each role and what they do. You’ll then be ready to take on your first Team Manager appointment.
  • We will also give you insight into the other vital parts of the business that play a critical role in helping our stores to run smoothly, such as Supply Chain and the Store Support Centre. These experiences will give you the best possible grounding to become a Deputy or Store Manager within 12 months.
  • Once you’ve become a Store Manager, this programme will give you a great platform to continue accelerating your career. That could be taking on bigger stores, working elsewhere in the business to broaden your skills, or working abroad in our international business.
