At Morrisons we're really passionate about our people, and growing our own talent. That's why we have a Leadership School across all work levels in our business. So, wherever you work, if you feel you're ready to take the next step in your career, we'll provide you with all the leadership and technical development to give you the opportunity to succeed.

As a Store Manager your hours will be driven by the needs of your customers and the business. So early mornings, late nights and weekends are when you will most likely be working. However, flexibility will be required. Some of our stores offer their local communities post office services, therefore you may also be required to undergo a P250 check as part of your offer of employment, which includes a financial check. Successful verification of this check by the Post Office is mandatory in order for candidates to start employment.
