That's why we're launching our Proper Jobs: Fresh Start Programme. It will offer 1,000 new apprenticeships by 2030 to people like you who want to develop.
Our Proper Jobs: Fresh Start Programme lasts for up to 2 years. It combines learning in the workplace, formal off-the-job training and online learning.
About the Job Role
You'll start by spending 13 weeks working as a Morrisons Customer Assistant, before progressing to a 12-month apprenticeship in Fishmongery. If you successfully complete your apprenticeship and assessments, you could then progress to our Sir Ken Morrison Leadership School. This is a six‑month programme, which can kickstart your journey into retail management.
The fish production business is a growing industry in the UK and Fishmongers are critical to the Morrisons Market Street offer. After 13 weeks, you'll progress to a Fishmonger Apprentice, and through the apprenticeship we’ll help you learn to cut, fillet, scale and skin fish, and learn about the different fish species and preparation methods. You will be providing a friendly and helpful service to all our customers, whilst you develop through your apprenticeship programme.
This is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to start their career and gain qualifications while earning. Ideal for college or sixth-form leavers seeking their first step into the workplace. No previous experience required - full training and support will be provided through the apprenticeship programme - you'll just need the ability to be trained to use the equipment required and the ability to be trained to prepare fresh items. We welcome applications from people at the beginning of their career journey who want to learn and develop.
