25 January 2025 At ASDA we're always striving for bigger and better ways to grow our reach and help our customers live better lives. New and innovative ideas are what drive us. We have big ambitions to grow our store portfolio over the next two years across a range of different store formats. The chance to have responsibility for your own store and become a retail leader of the future is better than ever before. Our 2025 Retail Graduate Programme has been developed in partnership with the store managers of today, many of whom were on similar graduate programmes, ready for the retail leaders of tomorrow. “Everything about Asda” We are a values-led organisation. As such we encourage everyone to be open and honest. We work creatively and collaboratively, valuing everyone's input. Our collaborative culture, the size of our business and our belief in the empowerment of the individual means opportunities at Asda are abundant. We conduct £300m worth of transactions every week. Our website handles over 2 million transactions a month. We have more than 145,000 dedicated Asda colleagues ensuring that our customers are at the heart of everything we do. “Everything you'll love ” 25 days annual leave per year plus 8 bank holidays

– Making sure you take time for yourself and switch off 4 weekly pay

– which means you get an extra payday a year Digital GP and Wellbeing sessions

– Asda genuinely cares so we create a culture where our people can perform at their best, the physical health and mental wellbeing of all our people is very important to us Career development and apprenticeship and graduate schemes

- we want our colleagues to excel and grow with our business. Plus much more! This is a fast-paced, two-year learning programme where you'll discover everything store management has to offer. At Asda, no two days are the same. You’ll complete a series of placements within your region, progressing at pace and taking on more accountability every 6 months. At times, you will need to deal with management issues such as disciplinary and grievances, as well as manage rota planning and holidays. The hard work and effort you put in is repaid knowing that you've made a difference to your colleagues, customers, and the communities we serve. If you have the ambition to be a store manager of the future, the 2-year Retail Graduate Programme will guide you, prepare you and support you every step of the way. After two years, you’ll be on track to become either an operations manager within a large store or manager of your very own express store. That's what's possible at Asda. “Find your role…” Store managers are tenacious, hardworking, and determined. But they're also empathetic, caring and customer focused. The pedestrian 9-5 doesn't interest them. As part of the store management team, you'll work a rolling rota which will include weekends, evenings and sometimes, late nights. To succeed, you'll want to get stuck in, being adaptable to change and able to work at pace. You’ll be highly organised and motivated by problem solving. You’ll be a natural leader, passionate about delighting customers and keeping colleagues motivated and engaged to be the best they can be and deliver great results. We aren't looking for a specific degree, or only those who are graduating in 2025. We're looking for recent graduates who are right for the role. You might already have some experience in the working world, or in retail. You might have no work experience at all. We're looking for graduates who have the right attitude and are looking for a bigger, better career. “Find your everything at Asda” - bringing brighter living within everyone's reach. If you are successful at each stage, you will progress to the next. This will include: A short, blended personality and numerical assessment Three, quick video interview questions A half-day assessment centre, where you will meet the team and find out more about the programme. If you are successful, we will ask you to come and join ASDA in September 2025. Applications may close before the deadline so please register your interest as soon as possible. We are passionate about creating a diverse and inclusive workforce, representative of the communities we serve, and are creating ways to inspire diverse talent to join Asda. All candidates must have the continuous right to work in the UK and any offer of employment is conditional upon this requirement. Asda do not provide sponsorship for our graduate and apprenticeship programmes.
