This is a practical, hands-on role in a busy food retail environment. The apprentice will regularly work in chilled areas and will need to be comfortable handling raw meat products while following strict hygiene and food safety procedures. The role involves standing for long periods, manual handling, cleaning duties, early starts and some Saturday working. Applicants must be able to travel reliably to Pocklington and attend college sessions at Bishop Burton as required. Full training, appropriate PPE and supervision will be provided. No previous butchery experience is required, but applicants must be willing to learn, take instruction and work safely.

Laveracks is a proud East Yorkshire family business with a long tradition of quality, craftsmanship and local produce. We are passionate about developing the next generation of skilled butchers and offer genuine hands-on learning in a busy, supportive retail environment. This is an opportunity to learn from experienced professionals, build confidence with customers and develop a skilled career within a respected local business.
