At Hovis Bakeries, we're looking for someone with drive, enthusiasm and a genuine willingness to learn to join our Transport Team as a Logistics & Transport Apprentice.
No previous logistics experience? No problem. We're not looking for someone who already knows everything about transport and logistics.We'll teach you that. What matters to us is your attitude, potential and ambition.
We're looking for someone who:Drive & ambition – you’re motivated to develop yourself and build a career
A passion for learning – you’re curious, enthusiastic and keen to develop new skills
Great attention to detail – you take pride in getting things right and spotting when something doesn’t look quite right
Organisation – you can manage different tasks and priorities in a busy environment
A problem-solving mindset – you enjoy finding answers and understanding how things work
Strong communication – you’re comfortable working with different people and being part of a team
A positive attitude – you’re willing to get involved, ask questions and learn from those around you
If that sounds like you, we can teach you the logistics.
We don’t want you to complete an apprenticeship and then wonder “what next?”
From the beginning, we want to help you build the knowledge, experience and qualifications to keep progressing.

Earn, learn and gain real experience
You’ll combine structured apprenticeship learning with hands‑on experience in our busy Transport Team.
Around 80% of your time will be spent learning and working alongside the team, with 20% dedicated to your apprenticeship learning and development
.
You’ll gradually learn how a busy transport operation works and develop practical experience in areas including:
- Day-to-day transport operations
- Working with and supporting our drivers
- Driver debriefs and administration
- Route planning and transport scheduling
- Vehicle tracking and telematics
- Fleet management and compliance
- Transport legislation and driver hours
- Investigating delivery and customer service issues
- Producing and analysing reports
- Using Excel and transport systems
- Understanding how an HGV fleet is managed safely and efficiently
We don't expect you to know how to do all of this when you join us. That's what the apprenticeship and our training are there for.
Transport and logistics is a 7-day operation, so your shift pattern will include some weekend and Bank Holiday working.
This is a normal part of working within the transport industry and, as you develop and progress your career, gaining experience across different days and operational periods will help you build a well‑rounded understanding of how a busy transport operation works.
We’ll make sure you understand your shift pattern and working arrangements as part of the recruitment process, so you know what to expect from the outset.
You might already have experience from another industry that has given you…
