Retail Degree Apprenticeship

Morrisons • Nationwide, United Kingdom • 7h ago

Retail Degree Apprenticeship

We have nearly 500 friendly stores in our local communities across the country. We love providing over 9 million customers every week with good quality fresh food and a great shopping experience they won't find anywhere else. On our 3-year Retail Degree Apprenticeship you'll work towards a degree while preparing for a brilliant management career within our unique food retail business.

Achieve a valuable degree and the start of a great career

Get an early taste of leadership by taking on responsibility for a team of colleagues within a department. Experience all areas of our stores, gaining an overview of its operation and helping to keep our stores running smoothly. Day-to-day tasks that you will be responsible for could include:

Ensuring the store is set up to the best standard to drive sales and continue delivering a great customer experience
Spending time with other colleagues to understand each area of our stores and the part they play
Supporting live business projects to develop project management skills
Learning about our store trading operations and systems

As well as learning on-the-job, you’ll also be studying towards a Bsc (Hons) in Chartered Management at the University of Bradford. Balancing work and a degree course will be challenging, so to support your learning, we'll offer study leave to complete university work stress free. At the end of the 3-year scheme you will be ready for a Manager role in one of our sites and have gained a full chartered membership of the CMI (Chartered Management Institute).

As the fast-paced world of retail isn’t 9-5, this role involves early starts, late finishes, night shifts and working weekends and Bank Holidays. It’s hard work for sure. But it’s also very rewarding. Every day is different, and we’ll support you every step of the way. If you love helping customers, learning to become a retail manager is a great idea!

Make good things happen

Our apprentices get access to all our employee benefits, including a holiday buying scheme, contributary pension scheme, store discounts and MyPerks. This is a reward and benefits scheme that updates regularly with new and exciting offers. Here’s what could be available:

24% cashback on JustEat
6% cashback on Ticketmaster
Cinema tickets from £4.80
