This is an excellent opportunity to secure long-term work with real career progression in a thriving and fast-growing industry.


  • Skilled Operator: £13.60 per hour
  • Advanced Operator: £14.34 per hour

  • Ensuring all products meet food safety and hygiene regulations
  • Performing quality checks to maintain consistency and customer satisfaction
  • Keeping your work area clean and compliant with health & safety guidelines
  • Working as part of a team to meet daily production targets


This is a hands-on role in a chilled environment, so you should be comfortable working on your feet and handling food products throughout your shift.

  • Weekly pay (agency) or monthly if employed directly
  • 30 days holiday (after 12 weeks for agency workers)
  • Structured training and development pathways
  • A chance to build a career with a company that promotes from within
