Parent zone

Naturally, you’ll want the best for your son or daughter. We know, because many of us are parents too. Which is why we’ve created this section, so you can learn more about our careers and support your child as they make a big decision about their future.

We’re focused on working hard in our communities to continue to make more reasons to shop at Morrisons for millions of customers every single week. But we care just as much for our colleagues and there’s a real family feel with everybody caring and respecting each other. We also have lots of experience of helping young people settle into the world of work in a variety of roles. We hope your child decides to join the team and you’ll be reassured that they can look forward to a happy and rewarding future here.

Retail careers

Retail is a varied, exciting and fast-paced industry. And there’s much more to it than stacking shelves. Many of our leaders started on the shop floor as we offer our colleagues many opportunities to work their way to the top. At Morrisons all kinds of career routes can open up for your child from logistics and store management to people, finance and technology.

Apprenticeships - in a nutshell

Here your child can earn a good wage and develop their skills and experience while receiving ongoing training and studying towards a nationally recognised qualification. As well as learning on-the-job as part of the team, they will be supported with off job study time as well as day-release or block study at college or university (accommodation is provided).       

In fact, you can be reassured that our Degree Apprenticeship programme delivers an award-winning learning and career development experience. That’s because a wide panel of industry professionals agree that our programme is an excellent Apprenticeship option, which led to it winning the prestigious Institute for Student Employers Award for Best School Leaver/Apprenticeship Strategy 2021 and Best Overall Emerging Talent Strategy 2023.

If your child currently lives in Wales or Scotland relocation will be required due to the funding rules of the Apprenticeship Levy for most of our schemes. One exception is our Retail and manufacturing graduate apprenticeship which runs in Scotland as well as England.

Our schemes

Our structured programmes of 2, 3 or 4 years can involve university or professional qualifications funded by Morrisons.

Some of our schemes may require the flexibility to move to different locations. We are a fast-moving business and for the benefit of their development, we require them to have a flexible approach to relocation in the UK.
