Apprentice: Craft Baker

We currently have a fantastic apprenticeship opportunity to join the _To The Rise Bakery_ team.

The nature of the industry requires commitment and enthusiasm from the individual who can work within a team and manage early morning work patterns - initially beginning at 6.00am but importantly an anticipated earlier 5am start after the completion of the apprenticeship.

It will be a demanding but rewarding role within a busy, challenging but passionate environment; and so, a high level of professional standard and presentation is required.

Training will be at Plumpton College, so please consider how you will commute to and from the college once a week.

Standard Hours - Wednesday to Sunday, 05.00am - 13:00pm.
