About the Role
You will start by spending 13 weeks working as a Morrisons Customer Assistant, before progressing to a 12-month apprenticeship in Butchery. 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.
Butchery plays a huge role in the history of Morrisons. It’s not just a Proper Job - it’s one of the oldest crafts in the world.
After 13 weeks, you’ll progress to a Butchery Apprentice. Through the apprenticeship, you'll learn knife skills to prepare meat primals through cutting, mincing, and dicing.
