Job description
I'm working with a unique, fast-growing food producer who specialise in crafting and packing premium, natural products for well-known brands. They're small, ambitious, and have built a reputation for quality. This isn't your typical food factory role. The team work in a relaxed, rural environment where quality, teamwork, and attention to detail come first. It's hands-on, varied, and there's genuine scope to grow with the business.
About the role
Leading a small production team (up to 5 people), briefing them each morning and keeping things running smoothly
Setting up and operating a semi-automated bottling and labelling line (full training provided)
Troubleshooting small issues, problem solving, and ensuring top-quality products are packaged
Taking responsibility for food safety paperwork and production checks
Getting involved in fulfilment for premium brands, from packing web orders to overseeing production runs
Supporting clean-downs and preparing for the following day's production
What they are looking for
Experience in the food industry (essential)
Someone practical, detail-focused, and quick to pick up new skills
A natural problem solver who takes pride in delivering a high-quality product
Comfortable leading a team but equally happy to roll up their sleeves and work independently
Someone who isn't afraid to get stuck in
What's in it for you
No weekend working - a steady Monday to Friday shift pattern (8am-5pm)
A friendly, young and enthusiastic team who value quality over speed
The chance to work in a unique farm-based environment, a refreshing change from standard factories
Opportunities to progress as the business grows
Extra hours available in busy periods if you want them
If you've worked in food production before and like the sound of joining a small but ambitious business where your contribution really matters, I'd love to chat.
