At around 6 months into your programme we will assess whether you are ready to make that step into a Supervisor position where you will be able to apply the learning you have undertaken so far. You will continue to complete your Level 3 Diploma and will undertake a project specific to your role for the final 6 months within your programme.

Candidates should be self-motivated with the ambition and drive to complete the required learning. This is a customer facing role which really focuses on giving you the skills to help you deliver great customer service. You'll also learn effective selling techniques and gain practical food preparation knowledge

This 12 month programme offers successful candidates the opportunity to work towards completion of a Retail Diploma Level 2 or Level 3 dependent on prior experience.

Gregg's shops are vibrant, non-stop, hard-working, sociable, down-to-earth places and our Teams make it what it is. The Greggs Retail Apprenticeship programme will enable you to put your foot firmly on that Retail Managerial ladder.

Hourly salary will rise on completion of milestones within the programme.
