Join us on our two-year Buying Graduate Scheme and over the course of two years, you’ll develop all the skills, experiences and personal qualities you need to succeed, while earning a starting salary of £27,000. This includes learning on the job by taking part in supplier negotiations, spending time with our experienced buyers and going on placements within a store. All while helping to impact on our success and make us even more competitive.
If you want a varied career with early responsibility and the opportunity to build great relationships with suppliers, then this scheme is for you.
