About the scheme

Join us on the People Management Graduate Scheme and help our colleagues be their very best. Learn how our teams operate and how you need to adapt to different situations, gaining an overview of a range of business areas. Quickly find yourself with real responsibilities!

What’s involved?

Throughout the 2-year programme, you’ll rotate between 4 placements within our business. These will help you gain an in-depth understanding of the people teams across our main business areas: Retail, Manufacturing, Logistics and Central. Take on exciting responsibilities from day one, making an impact for our colleagues and customers. Day-to-day, you could be:

  • Learning our people systems and supporting our colleagues in our stores developing your HR generalist skills such as resourcing, training, talent management and employee engagement
  • Working in one of our manufacturing or logistics sites supporting our people teams to business partner our warehouse managers and drive our people agenda across the site
  • Specialising in one of our central people teams in our Hilmore House support office such as employee relations

Our structured training and the chance to work on exciting projects means there will be plenty of opportunities to progress and learn while with us. By the end of the scheme, you could roll off into a store people manager role working across a number of stores, or into a People Specialist role in our manufacturing or logistics sites.

Make good things happen

Our graduates get access to all our employee benefits, including a holiday buying scheme, contributory pension scheme, store discounts and MyPerks. This is a reward and benefits scheme that updates regularly with new and exciting offers. Here’s what could be available:

  • Cinema tickets from £4.80
