Bakery Apprentice
We are now looking for our next Baker’s apprentice to join the team at the Danish Bakery. The position is a one-year apprenticeship, during which we will train the post holder in the techniques and skills required to succeed in the baking industry. This will help prepare the successful candidate for a career in the artisan baking industry.
About the Role
Working alongside our bakery team, the role will introduce you to all the key techniques required to produce a range of bread and pastries to the high standards required by Brød Danish Bakery. This will include a range of tasks including (but not limited to) preparing, measuring (using a scales and portion control), mixing and baking ingredients to produce breads, rolls, cookies, cakes, pastries, or other baked goods. These processes will include the preparation of doughs, letting them rise, shaping, proving, baking, cooling & icing them.
Alongside the preparation of baked goods, the apprentice will also learn and contribute to tasks required to ensure the smooth running of the bakery including assisting (as advised) with tasks such as stock control, bakery cleaning, monitoring of hygiene and food standards, record keeping and tasks required to maintain a safe working environment.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
