Learning and Development
We all want to work for a company that cares about us as an individual, and that helps us develop and succeed. At Selfridges we give all team members opportunities for self-development with a broad range of training programmes, covering everything from face-to-face workshops, to structured development programmes, handy toolkits and digital courses, as well as support with professional qualifications. Whatever your ambitions, we’ll help you be your best in your current role – and prepare for the next one!
Big Yellow Welcome
We know it can be really exciting when you start a new job, but there can also be a lot to take in, so that’s why we created the Big Yellow Welcome to help you get to know us better and become part of the Selfridges community. Here you’ll learn about everything you need for your first few days and beyond, including background on our heritage, strategy, vision and values, as well as our commitments to sustainability. For new managers, we will also spend a further two days exploring different areas of the business and how you will work with them in the future, plus our leadership behaviours which will give you an overview of what leadership means at Selfridges.
What’s more, we are introducing a brand-new retail training team who are working alongside our retail managers to roll out an exciting 12-week induction programme, with self-learning modules tailored to individual teams. This is then followed up by observation, feedback and coaching on the job from your dedicated trainer, helping you begin an amazing career journey at Selfridges.
While finding your feet, we will also provide any support and guidance you might need, helping you really feel a part of Team Selfridges.
Development for everyone
Development at Selfridges comes in all shapes and sizes, depending on what you need and how you like to learn. Within our offering we have everything from courses on presentation skills to developing your creative thinking. We’ll support you to grow as a manager and inspire others as a leader. We’ll also help you with the more technical elements of your job; getting to grips with new systems and processes, as well as exploring career pathways. We believe you never stop learning, which is why there’s something to suit everyone, in every team.
Opening doors
Selfridges is a place where we help great people achieve their goals. If you’ve got the work ethic, we can help you with the next step. We offer a number of internal talent development programmes at all levels across the business as well as tools and support to make sure you’re having valuable on-going career conversations with your manager.
