What you will do in your working day

Here at Samworth Brothers we are proud to offer our Higher-Level Apprenticeship Scheme (HLA) to give you a great springboard to start your career in the food industry. In 2018, we saw that by creating this scheme we could support ambitious people to gain a degree alongside real-world work experience at the same time, and our business would benefit from the energy and fresh thinking that an under-graduate could contribute. So far, we’ve seen fantastic results and we’re now recruiting for our 2023 intake.
