About
We're foodmakers and shopkeepers, making good things happen together! Doing the right thing for our customers and colleagues is what drives us at Morrisons.
As a team of more than 90,000 people, we work in partnership with communities, suppliers and British farmers to provide outstanding shopping experiences and fresh food from field to fork. Our people make Morrisons, which is why we celebrate diversity and encourage each of our colleagues to bring their whole selves to work.
Join us on one of our award-winning Degree Apprenticeship Programmes, and you don't have to worry about university fees. You can start your career while studying towards a degree. We're passionate about delivering excellence and meeting your needs, so we're confident you'll find working at Morrisons rewarding. We celebrate individuals and their achievements. That's why we were awarded the In-House Recruitment Award for Early Careers Initiative in 2025.
We've partnered with the University of Bradford to create this unique programme that gives you the chance to work, earn and learn while preparing for a career in management.
What makes Morrisons different is that we're one of the UK's leading food manufacturers as well as a retailer. Through Myton Food Group, our manufacturing division, we produce many of the fresh products our customers enjoy every day, from bakery and produce to meat, fish and prepared foods. This gives our apprentices a unique opportunity to see the entire journey from field to fork and gain hands-on experience across one of the most integrated food supply chains in the UK.
There are several schemes to choose from, including Corporate, Manufacturing, Retail, Food Technical. All of them are crafted to help you develop by learning on the job, taking responsibility for people and projects, and working towards a fully funded qualification.
We also offer a 2-year Finance Apprenticeship designed to help develop your knowledge and financial skills whilst working towards a Level 4 Professional Accounting Technician CIMA qualification.
Throughout the programme you'll enjoy getting paid for doing a real role. We'll also look after you with great perks, lots of career opportunities and the training and support you need to be the best you can be.
Because together, we all make Morrisons.
