What our 2-year scheme involves
Our 2 year scheme has four placements focused on getting you ready to be a store manager. In your first placement you'll work across all areas of the store gaining a full overview of store operations and systems. You’ll quickly move into running your own team of colleagues where you’ll lead a department to deliver great service and availability every day. And with joint accountability with other Managers for the day to day operational running of the store, you’ll help to deliver great store results too.
In your second placement you will be a Regional Managers’ project manager spending day to day with them as they visit their stores and learning store standards from the best. The third placement is focused on gaining central experience working in our Retail Support Office, Loss Prevention or Productivity teams. The fourth placement is back in store as the Operations Manager. The aim is to roll off the scheme as a trainee Store Manager with your own store.
