● Assisting with stock rotation and ingredient management
● Working efficiently as part of a fast-paced bakery team
Who we’re looking for

Hours
This is a full-time apprenticeship and applicants must be available for early morning starts.

● The opportunity to gain a nationally recognised baking qualification
● Hands-on training from experienced bakers
