Job description
Our 2025 Logistics Degree Apprenticeship Programme has been developed in partnership with the depot managers of today for the logistics leaders of tomorrow. This opportunity offers apprentices at ASDA on-the-job, real-world experience across Warehousing and Warehousing Management, and acquiring knowledge of our wider departments like Human Resources, Finance, and Health & Safety.
The degree apprenticeship scheme is designed to support our core operation. You will be based in one of ASDA’s warehouse depots local to the region you currently live in, this is where you will learn the operation from the ground up.
We have opportunities in warehouses nationwide and will aim to accommodate you near your preferred location.
The Programme
For the first 6 months you will work as a warehouse colleague, familiarising yourself with our warehouse operations before stepping up to a department manager.
As a department manager you will lead a team of 10 -25 colleagues who you will motivate to deliver the best standards across the department. You'll have an eye for detail, maintaining warehouse floor standards and coaching your team to do the same.
By the end of the programme, you will work towards becoming a Shift Manager, leading a team of 5-8 department managers.
Depot managers share characteristics and qualities that make a massive difference. They're tenacious, hardworking, and determined. But they're also empathetic and caring. The pedestrian 9-5 doesn't interest them. Instead, they're motivated by problem solving, being highly organised and passionate about keeping their colleagues engaged.
If you are ambitious and hardworking, the Logistics Degree Apprenticeship Programme will guide you, prepare you and support you every step of the way.
What you will need
- This is a 24/7 operation and therefore you will be required to work shifts as follows:
- 4am – 1pm or 5am -2pm 4 days one week and 5 days the next.
- Shift and weekend working is a requirement of the role, and we may need you to be flexible with your work pattern.
- Due to the shift patterns, it is recommended that you hold a UK driving licence and have your own transport.
- Recently gained or predicted a minimum of 112 UCAS points
- A minimum Level 4 in Maths and English GCSEs
- Right to work within the UK and have been resident in the UK, the British Overseas Territories, or Crown Dependencies (Channel Islands and Isle of Man) for at least the previous three years before the start of the CIMA Apprenticeship (visit: www.Gov.uk for further information).
Training
On our 4-year programme, you'll complete a series of placements in our warehouses, progressing at pace and taking on more accountability each year.
You'll also study for a Level 6 apprenticeship with Sheffield Hallam University. Delivered over four years through blended learning, the programme combines real management experience with online learning modules, lectures, and face-to-face tuition at university. We will of course, cover your costs and make sure you have time off to study.
