Your learning and development
As soon as you join one of our apprenticeship programmes you become a valued Boots colleague in a permanent role. Whatever programme you’re on we know how important it is that you’re set up for success, right from the start.
That’s why every new apprentice has an intensive induction, where you’ll learn all about the business and meet other apprentices. You’ll then start learning straightaway, both on and off-the-job through E-learning modules, on-the-job observations and face-to-face workshops.
As support is at the heart of our culture you’ll be helped not just by your tutor, but your colleagues, line managers and our dedicated apprenticeship team throughout your apprenticeship. You’ll also have access to an experienced buddy apprentice who’ll guide you through the programme.
Our Application Process
-
1On the day
Make sure you look professional and arrive on time. Know who you’re going to meet, what’s expected of you, and get plenty of rest the night before. Interviews and assessment days can be tiring!
-
2Do your research
Get to know us as a company. Research beyond our website. Head to one of our stores or investigate our values. Find out what our employees and customers think and then ask yourself “Is Boots right for me?”
-
3Be yourself
We want to meet the real you during the recruitment process.
-
4Build your skills and experience
It’s not easy trying to stand out from the crowd. A great way to expand on the skills you have learnt in education in a previous role is to get involved in group projects, do some volunteering or look into taking a part time job. The greater experience and skills you have, the more confident you’ll be at the interview or assessment centre.
-
5Get feedback
Unsuccessful this time around? Don’t give up. Ask for feedback and work on developing your skills. Get ready to try again.
-
6Be fabulous
It’s your big opportunity to show us the real ‘you’, to provide your interviewer with as much detail as possible. Boast about your skills and abilities. Leave them feeling like they’ve met a confident, interesting person with plenty to offer.
-
7Be passionate
It’s important for us to see that you believe in what we do and want to be a part of it.
Our apprenticeship vacancies can go live at any time of the year, so if you see one that you’re interested in, please don’t delay in applying.

FAQs
All apprentices get the time and opportunity to study so you can achieve apprenticeship success. We’ll also support you to develop your skills further including; communication, problem solving, teamwork, time management and prioritising skills to name a few - so you can get this balance right.
You’ll be provided with an Assessor-Tutor or Coach from one of our trusted training providers who will be on hand throughout your apprenticeship. You'll also work closely with your line manager and team colleagues to be the best you can be in your role.
We hope our apprenticeship programme will be a fantastic experience, but we’re aware that for some people, it might not be the right fit. If this is the case, we'd recommend you speak to both your line manager and assessor-tutor about how you feel to see if they can help. However, if you still decide to leave the apprenticeship, your line manager can advise about your notice period.
The apprenticeship will help to prepare you for a career once you complete it. We build your knowledge, skills and behaviours, helping you to be successful in your permanent role and progress within the business with the support of your line manager.
