Placements

One way to see exactly what retail can offer as a career is through a placement. It's not only a rewarding way to learn; it's an invaluable experience that can form part of your longer-term development.

The Property 8-week
Summer Placement

Begin Application

Placements can be within any area of Property and will involve you working within a team on a business project. Placements are an ideal opportunity to see how we work, experience our company culture and gain a broader appreciation of the opportunities and challenges involved. You'll get an overview of exactly how a major retailer functions - and experience the values, training and opportunities that make Sainsbury's a great place to work.

The placement will be offered during the summer from the first week of July to the last week of August. When you've finished your placement, we'll assess you and your potential to obtain a place on our Property Graduate Scheme.
