About The Company
At just under 500 stores across the UK, our retail colleagues work as one team to provide plenty of food essentials, a great service and a buzz people enjoy. It’s why our customers keep coming back for more.
The UK’s 4th largest supermarket, we provide great value for money and good quality fresh food and groceries to over 11 million customers every week. Our focus on freshness makes us stand out as we prepare more fresh food in-store than any other supermarket. It’s challenging. It’s fast-paced. But from Market Street to checkout our friendly team loves going above and beyond to bring our customers what they want.
At Morrisons we believe in investing in our colleagues and industry-leading training programmes. We provide our colleagues with the opportunities they need to make it to the top. Many of our store managers started out on the shop floor. They’ve been there and done that. It’s how they know how to support our colleagues and help our customers so well.
About You
What do we need from you?
Our People Managers don’t need to be CIPD qualified (although advantageous!) but we do look for experience in an Operational HR role, whether this be in a retail environment or with the hospitality and leisure or manufacturing / distribution.
You will also need:
Ability to build and maintain excellent stakeholder relationships, using strong influencing skills.
A passion for spotting, driving talent and creating a successful team culture.
Prior experience of supporting ER agendas and key processes.
Prior experience of managing multiple stores / sites is advantageous, but not essential.
Ability to listen hard and respond quickly to improve employee engagement.
Drive, enthusiasm and tenacity to deliver targets in a fast-paced environment.
Flexibility to work variable hours including early mornings, evenings (when required) working 5 days out of 7 across the week.
If you don't meet every single requirement, don't worry. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
No doubt you'll have shopped in our stores before, but why not take a look at some of the areas our customers don't see, such as our warehouses and colleague staffrooms to get a real taste of life at Morrisons. Explore using our 360 tour, please click here.
