WHO WE ARE
We are the largest consumer co-operative in the UK. Our diverse family of businesses include food, funeralcare, pharmacy, legal and financial services.
MORE ABOUT US
The Co-operative Group has been serving the UK since 1844 and, unlike a plc, we are owned by our members. This ensures we work for the benefit of our members, local communities and the wider world. At the same time we are a highly commercial business; the more successful we are, the greater the benefit to our members and local communities.
The Co-operative Group is a unique organisation which operates in a variety of fiercely competitive markets. We are highly ambitious and are focused on being a leading alternative in the retail sector.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for individuals with skills, knowledge, experience and drive to bring our values and principles to life. The Co-operative is committed to continue to lead in the field of equality, inclusion and diversity, by maintaining an environment where everyone feels they are respected and valued for who they are. We have a nationwide, employee-led LGBT network which is open to everyone.
