At ASDA we're always striving for bigger and better ways to grow our reach and help our customers live better lives. New and innovative ideas are what drive us. We have big ambitions to grow our store portfolio over the next two years across a range of different store formats. The chance to have responsibility for your own store and become a retail leader of the future is better than ever before.
Our 2025 Retail Graduate Programme has been developed in partnership with the store managers of today, many of whom were on similar graduate programmes, ready for the retail leaders of tomorrow.
We are a values-led organisation. As such we encourage everyone to be open and honest. We work creatively and collaboratively, valuing everyone's input.
Our collaborative culture, the size of our business and our belief in the empowerment of the individual means opportunities at Asda are abundant.
We conduct £300m worth of transactions every week. Our website handles over 2 million transactions a month. We have more than 145,000 dedicated Asda colleagues ensuring that our customers are at the heart of everything we do.
This is a fast-paced, two-year learning programme. You'll discover everything store management has to offer. At Asda, no two days are the same. You’ll complete a series of placements within your region, progressing at pace and taking on more accountability every 6 months. At times, you will need to deal with management issues such as disciplinary and grievances, as well as manage rota planning and holidays. The hard work and effort you put in is repaid knowing that you've made a difference to your colleagues, customers, and the communities we serve.
If you have the ambition to be a store manager of the future, the 2-year Retail Graduate Programme will guide you, prepare you and support you every step of the way. After two years, you’ll be on track to become either an operations manager within a large store or manager of your very own express store. That's what's possible at Asda.
To succeed, you'll want to get stuck in. Be adaptable to change and able to work at pace. You’ll be highly organised and motivated by problem solving. You’ll be a natural leader, passionate about delighting customers and keeping colleagues motivated and engaged to be the best they can be and deliver great results.
We aren't looking for a specific degree. We're looking for recent graduates who are right for the role. You might already have some experience in the working world, or in retail. You might have no work experience at all. We're looking for graduates who have the right attitude and are looking for a bigger, better career.
Take time to complete your online application. It really is the best way to make a good first impression. Once we received your application, we use a range of techniques to narrow down the field and help us find our ideal candidates.
If you are successful at each stage, you will progress to the next. This will include:
* A short, blended personality and numerical assessment
* Three, quick video interview questions
* A half-day assessment centre, where you will meet the team and find out more about the programme.
If you are successful, we will ask you to come and join ASDA in September 2025.
Applications may close before the deadline so please register your interest as soon as possible.
We are passionate about creating a diverse and inclusive workforce, representative of the communities we serve, and are creating ways to inspire diverse talent to join Asda.
All candidates must have the continuous right to work in the UK. Any offer of employment is conditional upon this requirement. Asda do not provide sponsorship for our graduate and apprenticeship programmes.
