Nestlé has provided me with an exciting career which I had no idea even existed and I absolutely love it! Through the apprenticeship, I not only got a degree, but I also gained invaluable on-the-job experience which has enhanced my knowledge and given me so many incredible opportunities. From the very beginning I was involved in significant projects and within a short space of time was managing them by myself. I have gained so much confidence knowing my voice is being heard and my input recognised, and I’m very grateful I decided to take this pathway to kickstart my career.

The recruitment journey
After you click "apply" you'll be prompted to answer a few questions to determine your eligibility for the scheme. If you qualify, we will invite you to complete an online assessment, which you can practice here. Please do not upload a CV, instead we ask you to upload any relevant qualifications to support your application.
Once you have completed this stage, we will notify you if you are selected to attend an assessment day which will be in February or March 2027. If successful at the assessment day, you'll be invited back to our York campus for a final practical assessment in our kitchens. This is a great opportunity to experience the environment first-hand and get a real flavour of what the role could look like. It may take a little bit of time between assessment stages to get back to you, we really appreciate your patience.
Adjustments
We recognise that each candidate has unique needs, and we are committed to ensuring an inclusive application process. You will have the opportunity to discuss any specific requirements or adjustments you may need as you navigate through our recruitment process.
We may occasionally close job advertisements early in the event we receive sufficient applicants, so please don't delay in submitting your application.
At Nestlé, our values are rooted in respect – for our employees, our customers and our consumers. That's why championing diversity and inclusion is so important to us; when we embrace different perspectives and give everyone the chance to be the best they can be, we can think in new, creative ways that grow and enhance our business. We are committed to equal opportunity for all and we may collect relevant data for monitoring purposes during our candidate registration process.
