Responsibilities

  • Whilst training we’ll also give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the role of a colleague.
  • At the end of Phase 1, you will be assigned to a management role in either a Sainsbury's supermarket, a convenience store, or one of our Argos stores.

  • Job experts will be on hand to support you, and your line manager will be there to mentor and guide you to deliver the daily and weekly routines expected of our managers.
  • At the end of this phase will be your final sign off point and if successful, you’ll get your permanent position with us as a retail manager and move in to Phase 3.
  • In Phase 3, we’ll expect you to be doing the full role of a retail manager whilst re-joining your cohort for the final 12 weeks of the program.
  • Here, you will concentrate on learning and applying the essential behavioural skills required for effective management, focusing on topics such as managing performance, giving feedback, and team dynamics.
