Our Retail Leadership Degree Apprenticeship is a thoughtfully structured development pathway designed to help you build a long‑term career in retail. From day one, you’ll gain the skills, experience and confidence you need to grow into a leadership role and, over time, become part of a store’s management team.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Be comfortable thinking big.
Our Retail Leadership Degree Apprenticeship is a thoughtfully structured development pathway designed to help you build a long‑term career in retail. From day one, you'll gain the skills, experience and confidence you need to grow into a leadership role and, over time, become part of a store's management team.

At Dunelm, we genuinely care about seeing our colleagues grow. That's why as a Future Retail Leader, internal progression plays such an important part in how we develop our colleagues. Over four and a half years, you'll be supported and challenged in equal measure, with the space to learn, try new things and find your own leadership style. You'll be paired with experienced mentors who've been on this journey themselves - people who know the role inside out and are there to guide you every step of the way.

Throughout the programme, you'll experience every aspect of life in store, working as a valued colleague and learning what it takes to deliver great experiences for our customers. As your confidence and capability grow, you'll build towards becoming a Store Coach (Manager), ready to lead a team and run a successful store.

Alongside your role in store, you'll study towards a Retail Leadership Degree Apprenticeship with Kingston University, learning on a part‑time basis while putting your knowledge into practice every day at Dunelm. It's a chance to learn, earn and grow - all while feeling supported, valued and right at home.

What you'll be doing

You'll start your journey as a Sales Assistant colleague in Years 1 & 2, before progressing into a Stock/Store Operations Coach role in Year 3 & a Customer Experience Coach in Year 4 as your skills and confidence grow. Here you will learn the foundations of process and people management.

Seminars will be online only. The only exception is the first teaching block which is in person at Kingston Business School.

You will receive support on the job from your Dunelm team, Line Manager and L&D team. In addition, you'll also receive dedicated support from the Kingston team.

You'll complete projects relevant to Dunelm which will count towards your final degree.

All successful graduates are awarded a Retail Leadership Degree Apprenticeship with BSc (Hons).

What we'll look for in you

You are Customer obsessed - you put the customer first in every interaction

You'll enjoy contributing to a welcoming environment that feels like home, for our colleagues and our customers

Ideally, previous experience of working within a fast-paced retail, service or hospitality environment.

Be 18 or older - for university entry requirement purposes.

Have the right of abode and right to work in the UK.

GCSE Mathematics and English Language (grade 4, or previously grade C) or equivalent.

Please note: We will evaluate any applicants who do not have all the relevant qualifications Due to high interest in applications this position may close earlier than advertised. To avoid disappointment, we'd encourage you apply as soon as possible.

Dunelm is committed to becoming an inclusive business that is representative of our customers and locations. We recognise the value in diversity and welcome applications from all candidates regardless of age, race, religion, disability, gender or sexual identity, socio-economic background or education. We are committed to making Dunelm a place where everyone can enjoy a successful career and have systems in place to support all our colleagues. We are seeking applications from candidates who share our values and celebrate diversity in all its forms.

Accessibility allows everyone to have an equitable chance when applying and showing off their potential, which helps us create a more inclusive and diverse team that brings fresh ideas and perspectives.

Should you need it, we have an accessibility tool available in the top menu to support you when you're completing your application. If you require any other reasonable adjustments during the application and assessment process, reach out to your recruitment partner.

Work your way

We want our colleagues to feel at home wherever they work, so that they are comfortable and can be their best selves. In addition, we want everyone to feel connected to the business, our strategy and the teams they work with.

Where hybrid working is applicable, colleagues need to strike the right balance to fulfil both of these important factors. You will find the right mix of being at home, in the office & out in the business, bearing in mind business needs, job role and level of responsibility.

Wellbeing is more than just a buzzword here

From our Wellbeing Buddies and Mental Health First Aid training to our progressive parental leave, menopause policies and Colleague Support Fund, we're committed to supporting our colleagues in every area - and at every stage - of their lives. Through our partnership with the Retail Trust, everyone at Dunelm has free access to a 24/7 Virtual GP, as well as therapy and counselling, plus information, guidance and advice in all areas of financial, emotional and physical wellbeing.

Where you'll
be working

Here is where you'll be based, whether that's an office, or store or one of our sites.

Get Directions

Keep on growing

We want you to get as much out of working with us as possible. That's why we'll do everything we can to engage you in the process of learning, and encourage you to explore new opportunities around your particular skills and interests. For you, this includes:

Rewards you deserve

Along with competitive salaries, we offer a range of other great benefits to recognise the unique contribution you bring.

Initially, you will complete a timed written exercise which will be marked by two Civil Servants . Then, at a different time you will come to an onlin e interview where you will complete a presentation exercise and be asked questions by two members of the Civil Service .

The outcome of the assessments will be communicated to you via the recruitment platform .

Occasionally, a department might withdraw from the scheme before placements are offered or there could be more successful candidates than available placements. In such cases, applicants are placed on a reserve list. The reserve list is open for 6 months.

If you are offered a role, you will be sent an email with the contact details of the government department you have been placed with. Your department will then be in touch directly to begin pre-appointment checks, including security clearance. You cannot start your placement until your security checks are completed.

You should address any questions regarding your role and contract to the department you have been allocated to in the first instance.

We will be holding an online Q&A session for anyone planning to apply for the programme. This will be a chance for you to learn about Government Social Research, to hear from current apprentices , to get an overview of the recruitment process, and ask any questions you may have. This will take place via MS Teams on:

Q: I previously applied for last year's apprenticeship scheme, and I wasn't successful. Can I apply this year?

Q: Why have you changed the eligibility criteria to exclude those with a degree?

A: Students who are applying for a remark cannot be guaranteed a place. GESR may be able to offer a place subject to:

* A role in one of our participating Government departments being available. Q: What happens if I appeal my grades and apply for a remark?

* Whether any further security/onboarding checks can be completed promptly (different departments have different security and onboarding requirements and processes.)

* Consideration from University of Kent and the new line manager on whether they will be able to accommodate a delayed start date (there will be significant learning lost in the first few weeks and University of Kent and the new line manager need to consider whether anyone starting late will have the aptitude, time and support to catch up.)

Please note that the GESR Recruitment Team work Monday-Friday 9am - 5pm. Therefore, technical support will not be available outside of these hours, including those leading up to the application deadline.

Hear what some of our previous students have said:
"Having a set of diverse doctors who specialise in all different fields was really nice and refreshing to see as it highlighted to me that regardless of your background and socio-economic background you can still do medicine and succeed. Dr A who had a similar background to me gave me hope that I can still do medicine regardless of my background as she stated, 'anyone can be a doctor'."
"Throughout the work experience I was aware of the challenges facing doctors when working long hours and facing stressful situations. But speaking to the doctors and hearing them about overcoming these obstacles, really inspired me. I understand that a career in medicine will not be easy but after my work experience, I am even more determined and motivated to pursue a career in this rewarding field." Fizra
"Not everyone who studied medicine is interested in becoming a doctor. Some want to go into public health, etc. But nonetheless any specialty/sector is extremely important. Beforehand I was closed off to anything but surgery whereas now I am more open to subspecialties like radiology and even research!" "The best part of this course was the ward round sessions and the speed of networking with clinicians. I enjoyed round ward sessions with Dr A because I learned a lot from how he spoke to patients about their health and communicated very clearly and effectively with them. I also got an insight into the preparations before and after a patient is spoken to by a doctor." Husna
"I have built my confidence and communication skills a lot more due mostly to the 3rd day when we had to go to the University and work together, communicate with each other and solve problems, there was a lot of teamwork where everyone had to take part and share their thoughts and opinions." Fiza
"This experience has made me step out of my comfort zone, so I believe this experience has helped me develop more communication skills and it has given me more motivation to be able to work hard to get good grades." "I feel like medicine is less scary than it is made out to be. There are people constantly helping you along the way and no one is trying to bring you down."
"All the sessions were very detailed and informative. They covered all the questions I had regarding admissions and medicine. I feel a lot less stressed regarding getting into med school." Sidra

"I was delighted to see that we were provided with a prayer place and was glad to know that there is a prayer place for everyone in the university" Husna
