Then you’ll complete rotations on both our fresh and packaged food buying teams, giving you a breadth of experience and the chance to build all sorts of skills such a negotiation and supplier management.

During your 2-year programme you’ll first start off by spending 12 weeks in store getting to understand how our stores operate and how we serve our customers and communities. After this you’ll be able to use the knowledge and experience you’ve gained to get stuck in, following a clear development pathway to build your capability and provide experiences across the functions.
