What will the apprentice be doing?

As a Retail Degree Apprentice, you’ll need to think quickly on your feet, as you’ll be right in the heart of the action. Our 3 year Retail Degree Apprenticeship, delivered in partnership with University of Bradford (England) and 4 year Graduate Apprenticeship delivered with University of Strathclyde (Scotland), allows you to work towards a degree while preparing for a brilliant management career within our unique food retail business. Not only do we pay all your University fees, but you also get to work and earn a £22,000 starting salary.

Achieve a valuable degree and the start of a great career

Get an early taste of leadership when you take on responsibility for a team of colleagues within a department. You’ll work across all areas of our stores, gaining an overview of its operation and helping to keep our stores running smoothly. By the end of the three or four years, you will have the knowledge and skills to be a manager in one of our stores, with accountability for a range of departments. Show us real potential, and you could even progress onto our Store Manager Development Programme. 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 make for a smoother customer experience
  • Leading teams to ensure that standards, regulations, and laws are met while trading
  • Creating and reviewing team rotas to ensure sufficient staff during the day
  • Supporting live business projects to develop your project management skills
  • Learning about our store trading operations and systems

As the fast-paced world of retail isn’t 9-5, your role will involve some 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!

What training will the apprentice take and what qualification will the apprentice get at the end?

As well as learning on-the-job, if in England, you’ll also be studying towards a Bsc (Hons) Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship at the University of Bradford. If you’re based in Scotland, you’ll be working towards a BA (Hons) Graduate Apprenticeship in Business Management with the University of Strathclyde. Balancing work and a degree course will be challenging. To support your learning, we will offer you study leave so you can complete your assignments and concentrate on your university studies. At the end of the 3 year scheme you will gain a full chartered membership of the CMI (Chartered Management Institute for England only).

What is the expected career progression after this apprenticeship?

By the end of the three or four years, you will have the knowledge and skills to be a manager in one of our stores, with accountability for a range of departments. Show us real potential, and you could even progress onto our Store Manager Development Programme.
