Apprenticeship

Superdrug has offered Apprenticeships for over a decade and has helped more than 2,400 people receive a recognised apprenticeship qualification. We offer an award-winning programme and are dedicated to building and growing how we can help young people get started in a career in retail. We were graded GOOD by Ofsted in November, 2023.
Over 60% of those who complete an apprenticeship with Superdrug receive a permanent role, and in 2024 just over 25% of those who completed the course also achieved a promotion within a year. We think our ability to offer a clear pathway to progression is a fundamental part of the success with our programme.
Learn. Level-up. Lead-on.
Introducing Rise Up from Superdrug! The multi-tier Apprenticeship programme helps young people to kick-start, accelerate and elevate their career in retail! Whether you are a school leaver looking for your first job, a current employee hungry to take on more responsibility or an ambitious Assistant Manager looking to reach that top-spot; this programme is designed for you. You'll get a nationally recognised qualification that's fully funded by us. The best part is, you'll earn a full-time wage! As well as offering apprenticeships in our stores there are opportunities in head office and in our distribution centres too. Superdrug works with schools and colleges local to their distribution centres to showcase their opportunities. Once the apprenticeship is completed graduates may have the opportunity to stay within the distribution network or move to other areas of the business. The training and development we offer our colleagues is at the heart of everything we do and we are delighted to offer young people the chance to pursue a career that they love. We’re committed to going above and beyond the usual apprenticeship model by offering a solid training programme, which puts our candidates at the heart of their training pathway.
