• Prepare our much‑loved products, including making sandwiches and managing the ovens
• Ensure our displays are fully stocked at all times, with plenty of choice available for our customers
• Keep the shop looking clean, tidy and presentable

• Competitive pay paid weekly
• Colleague discount allowing you and a family member to enjoy up to 50% off your favourite Greggs products
• Free hot drinks for you to enjoy while on shift

About you

You’ll be reliable and demonstrate natural leadership abilities, with a passion for delivering exceptional customer service. You’ll also be supportive of an inclusive culture – recognising and valuing that difference is good.
