Training

A detailed induction to the company, to get you ready for your first day, will be followed by a 12 week on-the-job training programme, after which you’ll sit down with your manager for your initial appraisal to discuss your achievements so far and the way forward.

You’ll then receive regular training on any new procedures and initiatives as they are introduced and, once a year, you’ll have a performance appraisal with your manager.

Management Development

We’ve an extensive range of resources to support your development and, as a new manager, you’ll spend time working in a similar-sized store to learn the ropes. We’ve courses available to equip new managers with all they need in their first few months. We also run bespoke workshops for our existing managers to keep their skills up-to-date.

Each of our stores has a structured Management Development Programme and, as we take talent seriously at Next, we can offer lots of opportunities for progression to those who are keen to make their way up the career ladder.
