Logistic Degree Apprentice in Hatfield

Are you passionate about leadership? Excited about building a long‑term career in logistics? Highly motivated to grow your skills while earning a degree? If this sounds like you, our Logistics Degree Apprenticeship could be the perfect opportunity!

Our Logistics Degree Apprenticeship is a 4‑year programme designed for passionate, motivated individuals who want to develop leadership skills and build a career in a fast‑paced logistics environment. Delivered in partnership with Nottingham Trent University, you’ll work towards a Leadership and Management Degree Apprenticeship, which includes a BA (Hons) in Management and Leadership. This programme combines academic study with real‑world experience, enabling you to earn a competitive salary while becoming an integral part of our team.

You will contribute to achieving department standards and KPI targets, ensuring our supply chain schedules are managed in a safe, compliant and legal way and, most importantly, help make Greencore a great place to work for all our colleagues. Other day‑to‑day responsibilities include:

• Leading and collaborating effectively with teams
• Understanding the entire supply chain from start to finish
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and enhance efficiency
• Gaining a solid understanding of business and finance

Upon successful completion, you’ll be supported to transition into a management role within the team, aligned with your career goals to become a leadership and management professional in a fast‑paced environment.
