Pret, Pret A Manger (or Pret) is a British company offering a selection of sandwiches, salads, wraps, baguettes, hot food and organic teas and coffees. Using quality ingredients, all fresh products are hand-made on-site in Pret’s shop kitchens every day. Unsold food items are donated to local homeless charities in the evenings.

Just over 30 years after opening its first shop in London, Pret now has around 450 locations in the UK, US, France, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore and Dubai.

Pret offers a year-long apprenticeship, “The Pret Apprenticeship”, which aims to give you the opportunity and support to start your careers straight away, while also gaining a Level 2 apprenticeship.

Available to school leavers, gap year students and recent graduates across the UK, each successful applicant is given a full-time shop based role and support from their in house Pret Apprenticeship Team. 80% of Pret Managers started as Team Members, so the opportunities to climb the ladder at Pret are significant.

No matter your age, participants will be paid Pret’s starting salary of £7.85 or £7.65 an hour (depending on location), with eligibility to receive an extra £1 an hour weekly Mystery Shopper bonus, after 12 weeks. You will also receive Pret’s benefits and perks, including weekly pay, free food on shift, a 50% discount when not, paid breaks and 28 days’ holiday.
