Fitzbillies will be launching second year of our Bakery apprenticeship Programme.

Apprentices will have the opportunity to specialise in Artisan Bakery.

The apprenticeship lasts for 15 -18 months and it is anticipated that at the end of that time permanent positions will be offered to trainees meeting the required standard.

At the end of the apprenticeship all trainees will have gained a broad understanding of how a bakery and hospitality business works.

We are offering 2 apprenticeships in artisan Bakery.

Fitzbillies bakery is a Cambridge institution, founded over 100 years ago and best known for its ultra-sticky Chelsea buns.

Nowadays Fitzbillies is a thriving, local, independent bakery and hospitality group. The business is built around: a central, artisan bakery, housed in a light, modern building on Clifton Road, supplying three branches of Fitzbillies in central Cambridge: the original branch in Trumpington Street, which includes the cake shop, a large full-service café/restaurant serving brunch and afternoon tea and a counter-service coffee shop, and two smaller branches in Bridge Street and King's Parade. It also supplies a number of external wholesale customers including farm shops, colleges and local restaurants, and online orders.

There are currently 85 team members across the group. It’s a family business with the owners Alison Wright and Tim Hayward involved in the day-to-day running of the business. They are supported by an extremely skilled and dedicated team of Head Bakers, Head Chef and Managers.

We are passionate about great quality bakery, café food and coffee. We serve what we would like to eat and drink, in an environment which makes the most of our historic buildings in central Cambridge.

We have an extensive range of bakery and hospitality skills within one organisation, making it a perfect training ground for aspiring artisan bakers, chefs, baristas and front of house professionals.
