V03077 - Advanced Apprentice Supply Chain

The Supply Chain Function is responsible for coordinating demand, buying products, managing suppliers and ensuring our inventory is safely stored and maintained. Whether you will be raising purchase orders for multi-million pound contracts, reviewing supplier risk & intelligence portfolios or developing creative storage solutions, you will have a direct responsibility for helping shape the future of our Supply Chain.

During this varied two-year Supply Chain Advanced Apprenticeship programme you will have the opportunity to work in a fast paced environment on business critical projects. At every opportunity, you will help us deliver a sustainable and ethical Supply Chain. Working alongside our experts, you will help us deliver the right product, at the right time for the right price, all whilst ensuring our Supply Chain promotes diversity and creativity. 

After each six-month placement, you will rotate to a different part of our Supply Chain Function ensuring you have a varied, challenging and exciting experience. For each placement you undertake, you will develop a different set of practical and technical skills. These will be delivered as on the job training in a variety of teams. 
On top of this, you will join a large community of other Apprentices within the function and study towards a Level 3 Business Administrator qualification. This will be delivered in house and run in parallel with your placements. 

The qualification will provide you a broad technical understanding of organisations and wider business environments.  Whilst the placements will develop your practical Procurement and Supply expertise, inspiring you to think about how we can do things differently.
