Katie - Retail Graduate
Meet Katie Smith, one of our Retail Graduates here at Morrisons.

What’s involved?

Over the 2-years, you’ll take part in a variety of placements that focus on getting you ready to be one of our operations managers. You’ll start by working across all areas of the store, gaining a full overview of store operations and systems before undergoing leadership training to support your development towards leading departments of your own.

You’ll then be ready to roll off the scheme as an Operations Manager, where you’ll also have the opportunity to apply for our Store Manager development programme. Over these two years, day-to-day tasks that you will take on could include:

  • Ensuring the store is set up to the highest standards to drive sales and deliver a great shopping experience
  • Leading colleagues to ensure standards, regulations and laws are met while trading
  • Helping to keep the store running smoothly while delivering a friendly, fresh-focused shopping experience for customers

You will be at the forefront of making our customers feel welcome and ensuring they enjoy their shopping experience at Morrisons, all by getting stuck into a variety of activities that will go beyond 9-5. Your role will involve early starts, late finishes and weekends, as well as working bank holidays and during peak times of the year. It’s hard work for sure, but it’s also very rewarding.

Make good things happen

Our graduates get access to a range of employee benefits, including a holiday buying scheme, contributory pension scheme, store discounts and MyPerks. This reward and benefits platform is regularly updated with new offers and discounts, including cashback at popular retailers, savings on entertainment and discounted cinema tickets.

What you need to join us

We are food makers and shop keepers, and together, we make Morrisons. You’ll need to be a great listener, communicator and a people person, whether you lead and encourage diverse teams or have a passion for food that you share with colleagues and customers. We also need you to be flexible to move between stores and locations where you may need to commute up to 25 miles. A minimum 2:2 degree and a full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle are vital for this scheme. Other key qualities we’d like to see include:

  • A positive attitude
  • Lots of confidence
  • Strong analytical skills
  • Resilience

To apply, you’ll need the right to work in the UK for the full duration of the scheme.

We're passionate about delivering excellence and meeting your needs, so we're confident you'll find working at Morrisons rewarding. We are focused on the progression of talent early in their career which is why we offer structured schemes, on programme coaching and support from mentors and buddies from day one!
