With a selection of breads, pastries, cookies and cakes as delicious as ours, it's no wonder M&S bakeries are always a popular part of our stores.

Alongside that, you’ll need to have a good awareness and knowledge of baking coupled with great customer service and team working skills. Some experience working with breads, pastries and other bakery products is essential.

Before anything else, you’ll need to complete an online assessment. This will involve a bakery based knowledge test as well as a customer service based situational judgement questionnaire.
