Supply Chain Higher Apprentice (Spalding)

At Bakkavor, production never stops, we need to plan, manufacture and deliver onto shelves as quickly as possible so our customers are never disappointed, and our Supply Chain is a crucial part of this. 

You will learn how to undertake and direct production activities and operations and deliver against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). You will learn how to effectively lead and manage large teams as well as providing technical/specialist input and direction to your own team and to others. You will eventually have responsibility for determining and managing budgets and resources. You will work closely with other areas of the business such as Manufacturing, Development, Finance and Procurement so will require good communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.

Training:
You can expect to attain a Level 4 Process Leader Apprenticeship Standard (Higher National Certificate). You will attend the National Centre for Food Manufacturing for 3 x 1 week blocks each academic year for module workshops and will get the opportunity to put this hands-on learning into action when you return to your workplace. You will also take part in a soft skills development programme.

Training Outcome:
At the end of your programme, if you have successfully completed your apprenticeship and achieved the performance targets we have set for you, you may be guaranteed a permanent role with us.
