Nicholas & Harris has over 180 years of heritage in craft baking methods. If you like artisanal, organic and speciality breads, or have special dietary or nutritional preferences, our Salisbury bakery has you covered!
From baking our high quality products such as Sourdough loafs and hot cross buns, through to packaging them ready for distribution to our major retail partners such as Tesco, ASDA and Sainsbury’s; our Bakery Operatives play a key role. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to gain experience with one of the UK’s largest bakery businesses, along with great opportunities for growth and development. At Finsbury Food Group, we are passionate about investing in our teams, creating great progression opportunities with the potential to increase hourly rate of pay to as much as £12.95 per hour (£16.19 Enhanced Overtime Rate) once training has been completed and signed off.
