Training

Joining us

At ASDA, we recognise we’re a very different place to work. That's why our induction programme for anyone joining our business is slightly different too.

We want to give you the best start possible for your career at ASDA and so all new pharmacists to our business will attend a two-day intensive induction at our Head Office in Leeds. Our award-winning 'Best Welcome' induction is the best way to get you up to speed with our business and find your feet as quickly as possible. We'll make sure you understand our unique culture and have all the tools to deliver in your role. You'll meet our people and understand how we fit into the wider Wal*Mart family.

Your development

You'll spend at least four weeks in one of our training stores, or 'Stores of Learning' as we call them. You'll learn how to operate your Pharmacy department, and perfect your leadership style. You'll also have the opportunity to shadow someone currently in your role. Once you know the ropes, we'll encourage you to get actively involved in the training of your colleagues too.

We provide the opportunity for you to work with the local community, including involvement with Primary Care Trusts and local health initiatives. We're always looking at ways to make continued professional development more accessible and relevant to what you do. As we know it takes up your time, we'll be flexible towards your shift patterns and working hours. After all, the more skilled you are, the more our business will benefit!
