Job Description

Unlike a lot of retail apprenticeship programs, you’ll receive a full time salary and won’t have to pay anything towards your learning; we’ll even give you an iPad to help you with your studies. Our program has been so successful this year that one of our apprentices has been nominated for ‘Retail Apprentice of the Year’. And if you do a really great job, there’s no reason why you can’t work your way to management roles quickly.



Being a retail trailblazer isn’t just stacking shelves. It’s so much more. You’ll complete 11 core modules such as brand, marketing, product and team, to name a few, showing how you’ve learnt it, shown it and lived it.



20% of your time will be spent completing these modules through interactive technology, wherever’s most convenient for you.



What you’ll do:




  • Learn how specific departments in the store operate.

  • Serve customers on the shop floor and at the till.

  • Improve your knowledge of the products that we stock.

  • Help merchandise the store.

  • Replenish and perform stock rotations.

  • Support deliveries by offloading cages and refilling the warehouse.

  • Work within the local community by supporting local social initiatives.



Things you’ll need to know:




  • To be eligible to work in one of our convenience stores you’ve got to be 18 years old. This is due to alcohol, licencing and health and safety laws that we must comply with.

  • To be able to work in one of our larger stores, you’ll need to be 17 years old.

  • You must complete a 12 week probation period to be eligible for the program.

  • If you’re an internal candidate, your hours are only increased by being on the trailblazer program, if you withdraw then your previous contracted hours may not be available.


Personal Qualities :

  • You’re an amazing communicator.

  • You’re passionate about the retail industry.

  • You find variety exciting and welcome that no two days will be the same.

  • You love personal development and you’re committed to managing your own learning.



Skills Required :

  • You’ve never worked in, or have less than 12 months experience, in a food retail role.

  • You can show the required skills in English and maths.

  • You think you could balance the hours of a full time job and learning in your own time.

  • You don’t want a 9 – 5 job and would love to work varying shift patterns.

  • You acknowledge that this isn’t just an increase in hours, it’s a full time commitment to study.



Future Prospects : When you have successfully completed your Apprenticeship, you may have the opportunity to progress to an NVQ Level 3 in Retail.
