Co-op profile

About the Co-Op

At Co-op, we’re proud to do things differently. We’re owned by over 5 million members, and we give our profits back to them and their communities. Since 2016, our members have helped to raise £117 million, helping more than 7 million people across the UK. We exist to meet members’ needs and stand up for the things they believe in. Put simply, we’re here to do right by you.

We offer a range of apprenticeships, from LGV Driver to Solicitor programmes, all of which offer you the opportunity to earn while you learn and build a career in our unique business.

Whether you’re leaving education or just looking for a change, there’s something here for everyone. You don’t need previous experience, just a desire to develop your skills and a shared passion for our values.

Why Co-op?

Here you’ll do work that matters. We’re a commercial organisation with a purpose beyond profit, and you’ll have an opportunity to help us build a stronger Co-op and stronger communities. You’ll also get a package that includes…

  • A pension with up to 10% employer contributions
  • 28 days holiday (rising to 32 in line with service) plus bank holidays
  • 30% off Co-op branded products in our food stores
  • 10% off all other brands in our food stores (increases to 20% on the Friday and Saturday after payday)
  • Coaching, training, and support to help you develop
  • Wagestream – a money management app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it
  • Access to extensive health and wellbeing support

We’re actively building diverse teams and we welcome applications from everyone. We want to build inclusive work environments, where our colleagues have equal opportunities to reach their full potential. We celebrate our differences and recognise the importance of our teams reflecting the communities they serve.
