application process
To apply for a job with the Greggs family, simply search for a
vacancy and apply online.
Filling in the application will take approximately 30 minutes and
will include a set of questions designed to assess how you respond in
certain work situations. 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 are 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 successful in your application, 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

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
You can request feedback at any stage of our recruitment process. And whether
you're successful or not, we promise to provide feedback within 7 working days
of your request.
In the meantime, we hope your application for a job with us goes well. The best
of luck from all at Greggs.
