Application process

To apply for a job with the Greggs family, simply search for a vacancy and apply online.

Depending on the position you are applying for, filling in your application may take up to 30 minutes and might also include a set of questions designed to assess how you respond in certain work situations. For Retail and Bakery roles, before you start the application, please make sure you have to hand your school, college and work history, as well as qualifications and dates and the details of two referees. If you're 16 years old, one of your referees will need to be a teacher from your school.

Unfortunately it will not be possible to save the application half way through and return to it.

If your application's successful, we'll invite you to an interview with us. If you're invited to interview you will be required to provide documentation to support your identity and eligibility to work in the UK. If you're not sure where to find this information, or what you'll need to provide click on the links below for full details:

During the application process we'll keep in touch every step of the way. We know how big a decision it is for you to apply for a job. Once you do we'll work hard to keep you up to speed on how your application is progressing. With your help, we can make your application as quick and smooth as possible. Ideally, this is what will happen during your application:

Progress of your application

We'll let you know the progress of your application within 7 working days of applying. We'll either invite you to an interview or let you know if your application has been unsuccessful. If for some reason it's been placed on hold or there's been a delay in the process, we'll still write to you and keep you up to date.

Inviting you to your interview

If you are invited to interview we'll tell you about everything you need for your interview or assessment. For instance, the location, time, who to contact and what to bring with you. We'll let you know all this at least 48 hours before the big day. If you can't come, or decide to withdraw your application, please give us at least 24 hours' notice. That way, we can invite someone else to take your place.

Outcome of your interview or assessment

We'll give you an update on the outcome or your interview or assessment within 7 working days of the big day. We'll likely offer you the role, let you know if you've been unsuccessful, or advise you that there's been a delay in the process. If we do make you an offer you'll need to accept, at least verbally, within 2 working days.

Your employment contract

We promise to send your Employment Contract within 2 weeks of your start date.

Giving you feedback
