“As a retailer, we really are unique”

The Co-operative Group is truly remarkable.We continue to trade out of 1,500 stores nationwide (35 stores in Northern Ireland), with core values developed over 160 years ago when the first society set up in Rochdale.We don’t answer to rich shareholders or private owners, but run a business on social principles rather than corporate values.We are a Society, not a company...

Think about it; our approach to responsible retailing mirrors our pride in our integrity and our caring approach to the world, the environment and the people all round us.We are a true market leader, being the first to introduce bio-degradable carrier bags and medicines labelled with Braille, first to launch re-cycled toilet roll... the list goes on.

We only seek people as unique as we are.Every business is focussed on service, profit and excellence and we are no exception – if you have drive, energy and enthusiasm coupled with the resilience to sustain our principles for years to come in a truly competitive environment, then you too could join us at the Co-op and enjoy our passion for change, passion for moral and ethical trading, the love of not just talking the values, but living them everyday and be able to look forward to a career of prospects, progression and endless possibilities for the future.
