Bakkavor creates 86 new apprenticeship roles for 2024

01 February 2024

Bakkavor Group is set to recruit 86 individuals to join its Apprenticeship Programme for 2024. The application process is now open nationwide and successful candidates will start their career journey with Bakkavor in September 2024.

2024 represents a record apprenticeship intake for Bakkavor, with the number of roles almost doubling since 2021. 

The apprenticeship roles for 2024 span a wide range of specialist areas including food technology, health and safety, supply chain management, operations, finance and business administration, with a record 26 roles specifically relating to engineering – a sign of the growing importance of technology and science in shaping the future of the food manufacturing sector. 

Bakkavor’s Apprenticeship Programme is recognised as best in class, and was named TheJobCrowd’s Top Company for Apprentices to work for in Consumer Goods and FMCG for the past three years.

Bakkavor has been running its Apprenticeship Programme for 11 years and offers two levels of apprenticeship that are designed to combine employment, on-the job learning and work-based training. 

The Advanced Apprenticeship runs for two years and is aimed at school leavers, typically those that have completed GCSEs or A/ AS Levels and are starting in a new career. As an exception, Bakkavor’s Advanced Engineering Apprenticeships run for four years. The Higher Apprenticeship runs for two years.

Donna-Maria Lee, Chief People Officer at Bakkavor, said: “Over the last decade, many of our apprentices have gone on to have varied and interesting long-term careers with us. As a community-based business, we are extending apprenticeship opportunities across our sites, allowing us to create career opportunities for people in many key regions around the UK. This year will be our biggest apprenticeship programme in a decade; we have seen its value to our business, and we are delighted to create further opportunities for people in the communities in which we operate.”
