Grow with Greencore

We have a comprehensive induction and on-boarding approach to set you up for success, which, for our early career’s programmes, includes a 3- or 4-day induction off-site in a hotel near Sheffield, providing an opportunity to immerse you in all things Greencore and meet your new peers and senior leaders.

By providing different routes into Greencore, we are broadening our reach for introducing a diverse range of individuals into our business and supporting them to grow. We partner with industry-leading third-party providers to support the educational elements of your development programme, and beyond this, we provide opportunities to further your academic study through our Greencore Qualifications.

We are proud to have a multi award winning development approach for our managers and leaders. Our Line Manager Framework has met the high hallmark standards of the Princess Royal Training Award 2019. Whatever your leadership role with us, we have the opportunity and support to help you be a great manager at Greencore.

We encourage development through building networks, with our brand ambassador network playing an integral part in our early career’s programmes. Through this network, our early careers colleagues engage with local communities, schools and colleges by conducting talks, supporting our community outreach programmes and building a wider network across Greencore.

We believe everyone has potential. Our annual career planning cycle helps colleagues to think about their career and create a development plan, be that for their current or a future role. We are committed to supporting our colleagues to achieve career goals, from supporting colleagues through development centres, offering mentoring support and our extensive development offer we have all you need to Grow at Greencore.

We work together to identify goals and the behaviours needed to be successful at work, encouraging a culture of regular feedback and support. We help colleagues to explore their skills, strengths and development needs so they are equipped to build and lead their development. We invest in one-to-one time every quarter to talk about and recognise performance, and on one of our early career’s programmes, our colleagues benefit from mentors, buddies and a dedicated early careers team to support development.
