Join a unique apprenticeship that is part of a record £179m investment at our Taw Valley site in Devon - bringing state-of-the-art mozzarella production to the UK by 2028 and creating over 100 skilled local jobs.

As a farmer-owned cooperative and a leading global mozzarella producer, we're investing to strengthen British dairy, support our farmer owners, and supply world-class cheese for pizza toppings around the world. This is your chance to grow with us from the ground-up.

Over two years, you'll follow one of three tailored pathways - Liquid Processing, Mozzarella Production or Logistics - learning on real equipment as our new line comes online:

Logistics: Hands on experience in cold store and warehouse operations, order picking, inventory tasks, vehicle loading/unloading, plus operating box-packing, palletiser and forklift equipment.
Liquid Processing: Support the operation, monitoring, and cleaning of processing equipment such as separators, pasteurisers, valves and pumps - building core skills in machinery operation, health and safety, food safety, hygiene and effective handovers.
Mozzarella Production: Operate, monitor and clean mozzarella processing equipment while maintaining rigorous food quality and safety standards to help deliver export-ready cheese.

Earning £21,000 from day one, rising in year two in line with the National Living Wage, with a guaranteed permanent role in your department upon successful completion. You'll be part of a transformative UK manufacturing investment, backed by Arla's record global investment - designed to drive innovation, jobs and long-term careers in British dairy.

Eligibility: You can privately commute to our remote rural site; are 18+; have lived in the UK for the last three consecutive years; are not in full-time education; and are eligible to live and work in the UK. Shift work will include nights and weekends.
