People Management Graduate Scheme

Our 100,000 colleagues ‘Make Morrisons’. So our Retail People Managers have a really important role to play in ensuring the company’s success. Join our People Management Graduate Scheme, and you can enjoy an early taste of what that responsibility involves.

Right from the start, you’ll be working in one of our stores, learning how to run the people function while also gaining experience of how to be the Manager in charge of our overall operation. Along the way, you’ll enjoy structured training and will have the opportunity to complete a level 5 CIPD apprenticeship.

What you’ll be doing

Working as part of one of our busy store teams, you’ll get stuck into all kinds of people activities, seeing first-hand the vital role our people team plays and the big impact it has on performance. And after shadowing one of our existing People Managers, you’ll be given responsibility for managing people yourself.

As well as gaining hands-on experience in our stores, you could find yourself with the opportunity to work in one of our other people functions, such as manufacturing, logistics or central. You’ll be supported every step of the way by mentors, buddies, line managers and our friendly team.

And remember, our colleagues don’t work 9 to 5. So you won’t either. To thrive on this scheme, you must be happy doing early starts, late finishes and night shifts, and prepared to work weekends and bank holidays too.

 

What you’ll need

As well as having a minimum 2:1 degree, you’ll need a real passion for people management along with great interpersonal skills and a collaborative, customer-focused approach. It’s also important that you are influential, self-motivated and results-driven. You’ll be required to relocate at least once during the programme, so you must be mobile and willing to move around the country. A full UK driving licence is also essential.

 

Company

Morrisons offers you the chance to be part of a different kind of retail business. Whether you’re a school leaver, student or graduate, our early careers give you a unique perspective, real responsibility and tons of valuable experience.  

You see, unlike our competitors, we own most of our own supply chain. We’re both food makers and shopkeepers, home to diverse teams that create success together. That means you’ll find an amazing scope for learning here.

We’ve a real variety of paths to choose from, each giving you a brilliant head start. But wherever your journey takes you, you’ll find all the support you need to thrive in your career. Because together, we all make Morrisons.

Feeding the nation and doing the right thing for our customers and colleagues is what drives us at Morrisons.

A team of more than 120,000 people, we work in partnership with communities, suppliers and British farmers to provide great shopping experiences and fresh food from field to fork.

Join us, on our Degree Apprenticeship Programme and we can offer you an experience of retail that you won’t be able to get anywhere else.

Created in partnership with the University of Bradford and Sheffield Hallam University, this unique programme gives you the chance to work, earn and learn while studying towards a degree AND preparing for a career in management. (No wonder we were awarded Best School Leaver/Apprenticeship Strategy at this year’s ISE Awards!)

There are a number of different schemes to choose from, including Manufacturing, Logistics, Corporate, Retail, and Food Technical. All of them are designed to help you unlock your potential by learning on the job, taking responsibility for people and projects, and working towards either a Chartered Management and Business Degree Apprenticeship, a Retail Leadership Degree Apprenticeship or a Food Industry Professional Degree Apprenticeship (we also offer a level 4 Finance apprenticeship).

Throughout the programme you’ll enjoy getting paid for doing a real role. We’ll also look after you with great perks, lots of career opportunities and the training and support you need to be the best you can be. Because together, we all make Morrisons.
