Looking for an opportunity that's fun, fast paced, customer focused and commercial with fantastic development opportunities? Then look no further!

Our Supply Chain teams are at the ‘heart' of our business and front and centre of all we do. By working collaboratively with a range of teams including our Buying, Modular Planning and logistics teams, our operational supply teams cover at least one element of demand, supply planning or new store opening roles. All of these focus on delivering excellent availability for our customers and cost savings to the business.

From the fast, reactive world of fresh food supply right through to planning imported goods and vital store projects there are many areas of opportunity. A career in Supply isn't about ‘pressing buttons', it's also about collaboration, communication and influencing to land initiatives which will impact our stores and our customers in an effective and reliable way.

Joining our supply chain is the chance to work with stakeholders right across the supply chain and to see the results of your hard work each time you step into a store.

As this role does not meet the usual salary thresholds to qualify for visa sponsorship, we may not be able to offer sponsorship unless you qualify for certain exemptions. Please therefore bear in mind that if you do not already have the right to work in this role for UK immigration purposes, we may not be able to proceed with your application.
