Bakery Apprentice
Apprenticeships are open from age 16, once you have finished Year 11 (S4 in Scotland).
About the role
We are looking for a Customer Assistant who will progress to a Bakery Apprentice to join our store as part of our Proper Jobs: Fresh Start Programme.
About the Job Role:
You’ll start by spending 13 weeks working as a Morrisons Customer Assistant, before progressing to a 12-month apprenticeship in Bakery. If you successfully complete your apprenticeship and assessments, you could then progress to our Sir Ken Morrison Leadership School. This is a six-month programme, which can kickstart your journey into retail management.
Throughout all of history, baking has always been a Proper Job - and today it’s one of the fastest growing sectors of the food industry.
Our fresh in-store bakeries are a huge part of what makes Market Street special. From fresh bread and rolls to baps, barms, cobs, and jam doughnuts, our Bakers craft delicious baked goods every single day.
After 13 weeks, you’ll progress to a Bakery Apprentice, and through the apprenticeship we’ll help you learn about how to make a wide range of breads and baked goods. You’ll learn about product making and ingredients, methods and timings.
You will be providing a friendly and helpful service to all our customers, whilst you develop through your apprenticeship programme.
This is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to start their career and gain qualifications while earning.
Ideal for college or sixth-form leavers seeking their first step into the workplace.
No previous experience required - full training and support will be provided through the apprenticeship programme - you’ll just need the ability to be trained to use the equipment required and the ability to be trained to prepare fresh items.
We welcome applications from people at the beginning of their career journey who want to learn and develop.
