* Two colleague discount cards: 15% staff discount for you plus a second card for a friend or family member

We’re looking for someone who has:
* Proven leadership experience: From a fast-paced retail or supermarket environment (experience in high-volume fresh food or produce is a massive plus, but your leadership style is what matters most)
* A commercial mindset: You know how to manage stock flow, spot opportunities to drive sales, and keep a tight grip on waste
* A hands on, roll up your sleeves attitude: You love being on the shop floor and thrive on the energy of a busy shift

More About Us
At Morrisons, we’ve always done things a bit differently. Our story started all the way back in 1899 as a humble egg and butter stall in Bradford market. 127 years later, we’re one of the UK’s leading supermarkets, but we’ve never lost that independent shopkeeper spirit.
At just under 500 stores across the UK, our retail colleagues work as one team to feed the nation and provide a memorable shopping experience. We’re a team of over 90,000 down-to-earth, hard-working people. We care about fresh food, friendly service, and looking after each other.
What truly sets us apart is that we don’t just move boxes from trucks to shelves, we are food makers and shopkeepers. As the UK's second largest food manufacturer, we source directly from British farmers, process meat in our own abattoirs, and prepare fresh food right in front of our customers on Market Street. From our vibrant fruit and veg displays to our bustling chilled aisles, we take massive pride in feeding the nation honest, high-quality, fresh food.
As we own our own supply chain, including manufacturing sites, flower hubs, and logistics networks, the career paths here are varied. We are deeply committed to learning and development, ensuring that if you have the drive to progress, we will give you the tools, courses, and support to go as far as you want to.
We don't overcomplicate things. We work hard, we look out for each other, have a laugh along the way, and take immense pride in the food we sell and the communities we serve
