Deputy Store Manager Apprenticeships

You do you, and we do shoes.

Sure, we're all about shoes and sneakers but we're also about the people wearing them. Being a Kids Deputy Manager is as much to do with the newest generation as it is with their parent.

Our vision is People.Purpose.Progress and central to this is our commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and communities and want you to express yourself every day, no matter who you are.

To support an inclusive environment, our purpose groups - racial equality, LGBTQ+ equality, disability equality, mental wellness and sustainability - are employee led and give different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds to fuel innovation and celebrate diverse voices.
