Sainsbury’s is a leading FTSE 100 company and a very high-profile name in a fast-moving market. The success of our ‘Making Sainsbury’s Great Again’ review, has seen the company’s profits rise by 40% and sales by more than 6.9%. The success of the brand re-launch, and the suggestion to customers that they “try something new today” has been a resounding success in re-establishing us in the hearts and minds of our customers. But it doesn’t stop there, as we move forward our plans continue at pace.
In store, customers are experiencing a significant improvement in our offer. Price, product range, quality and service have all been subject to reviews: the 16 million customers who now shop with us on a weekly basis are testament to their success.
Whatever role you’re in and however specialised your skills, your number one priority will be helping the company to increase sales. On an annual basis, during the very hectic (and financially critical) Easter and Christmas holidays you will also find yourself working out in one of our stores, doing anything from unloading a massive delivery of wine to helping a customer find the cranberry sauce.
This is a real business that runs on getting the basics right, and there’s no better place to learn that than out in a busy store.
We could go on to talk about the detail of our structured schemes: the qualifications you can gain (and the support we’ll give you when you’re studying); the personal development you’ll experience; the network of new friends and contacts you’ll develop; the benefits of having a household name on your CV; the salary and benefits you’ll receive and even have the opportunity you’ll have to test your leadership capability out on a lonely moor in Devon.
But first things first: find out more about what makes a business like ours tick at www.sainsburys.co.uk/graduates and decide for yourself whether you have the drive and passion to join forces with Sainsbury’s.
