Tesco's Stronger Starts Retail Apprenticeship delivered by Lifetime Training won’t just give you a stronger start towards an exciting and rewarding career with us, it will support you to develop new skills, build your confidence and learn about all areas of retail, as well as getting hands-on practical experience of working in different areas of our store.
If you have the passion and commitment to succeed, this could be a fantastic opportunity, you could even become a Shift Leader at the end of your apprenticeship.
The apprenticeship is delivered entirely in store and takes a minimum of 12 months to complete.
You’ll spend time doing a range of activities such as marketing, business and technology and completing learning on a tablet device you're provided with.
You'll then get a chance to practice your learning on the shop floor.
As part of the apprenticeship programme, you may need to achieve qualifications in Maths and English called functional skills.
These qualifications are the equivalent to holding GCSEs in those subjects.
Once you've completed the programme, you'll be awarded your Level 2 National Standard in Retail, which is equivalent to 5 GCSE passes.
Who we are looking for
The real success in this role will come from getting stuck in, working as part of a team and getting to know and serving our customers and colleagues.
We're particularly wanting to hear from school leavers who are aged 16-18 years and applicants who were eligible for free school meals and/or attend a state-funded school.
Are you:
• Passionate about retail and want to build your career
• Flexible, as you may be asked to work weekends and different shifts
• Always on time, well presented and committed
• Ready to work within a team and deliver great service
Support you'll receive
Working and learning can be a challenge, that’s why you’ll have a network of people to support you.
From expert 1-1 pastoral support from the King's Trust, to a dedicated Lifetime apprenticeship coach, they'll be someone there every step of the way.
You'll also be welcomed by our friendly store team and given a buddy who will be on hand to offer advice as well as guide and support you throughout your time with us.
And we will provide you with £3.50 per day towards your lunch cost for the first four weeks of your programme.
