Morrisons Job Vacancies

From a market stall on Bradford market in 1899 to the fourth most successful Supermarket chain in Britain, with 11.4% of the share of the total market generated by 375 stores, it’s been a long journey for Morrisons - and they have many opportunities available for people to join them.

There are many different types of employment available within the Morrisons Supermarkets group. Obviously, most people will automatically think of job vacancies within the supermarkets themselves - shelf stackers, check out operators, department managers, and so on - but these account for only a proportion of the total number.

One important growth area within the organisation at the moment is the development of the pharmacy business, aiming to provide first-class care to customers and local communities. There are, therefore, opportunities for Pharmacy managers, pharmacists, relief pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, pharmacy undergraduates and pre-registration pharmacy students.

Morrisons job vacancies organise a comprehensive Graduate scheme, aiming to identify potential future senior managers. Graduates with a 2.1 or above in generally business related degrees and also holding valid UK work permits are able to apply for an intensive 15 month scheme, at the end of which they are accredited as fully fledged managers. In addition to a competitive salary, Morrisions’ store managers can also expect an annual bonus plan, a long-term incentive plan, a company car with a Corporate card for the purchase of petrol or diesel, BUPA healthcare for themselves and their family, a company pension, a share save scheme, staff discount and a service award every five years.

The main offices of William Morrison Supermarkets are still in Bradford, West Yorkshire, situated in the type of headquarters you would expect from such a successful company, providing a pleasant and stimulating work environment. There are possibilities of employment in Accounts and Finance, Payroll, Personnel, Pensions, Internal Audit, Marketing, Merchandising, Trading, Training, Property and Development, Purchasing, Supply Chain, IT and Retail Operations.

Morrisons is now the UK’s 5th largest food manufacturing organisation, and there are potential job opportunities in this sector. They buy, pack and distribute many of the fruit and vegetables the stores sell, produce plants and lowers at William Morrison Produce Ltd and, at the purpose-built fresh food factory, Farmers Boy Ltd - also in Bradford - produce the company’s pizzas, pies and savoury rolls as well as packing cheese and meat products.
Additionally, there is a network of regional distribution centres and depots serving the Morrisons stores across the country; these are in Wakefield, Northwich, Stockton, Kettering and Corby. A large transport fleet is operated and maintained from these centres.

Whether you decide to apply for work at one of Morrisons’ stores, in the Head Office at Bradford or one of the warehouses or distribution centres around the country, you will be able to receive a thorough training and benefits which will include competitive rates of pay, membership of a staff discount scheme, free life assurance, profit sharing, 29 days paid holiday, a service award every 5 years, a subsidised staff canteen, health care cash plans, premium payments for Sunday working, the opportunity to participate in the Stakeholder Pension Scheme and discounted benefits with various other organisations including Thomas Cook and the RAC.
