Are you looking for a full-time role with a company that can offer you the opportunity to develop and build a career?

We are currently recruiting for a growing food production business looking for a mature, sensible and reliable individual to join their team.

This isn't just a job for someone who wants to turn up, do a shift and go home. Our client is looking for someone who is keen to learn, take responsibility and develop their skills within the business.

What will you be doing?

You will be trained in food production and preparation, including:

Learning professional knife skills
Dicing and preparing food products
Following food production procedures

Working as part of a busy production team
Following instructions and maintaining consistent quality

Our client is particularly interested in candidates who are:

Reliable and punctual

Safety-conscious and responsible

Able to listen and follow instructions

Keen to learn new skills

Hard-working and committed

Comfortable working with knives and food preparation

Looking for a long-term opportunity with a growing company

Previous food production experience isn't essential, as full training will be provided. However, due to the nature of the role, you must have a sensible and responsible approach to working with knives and machinery.

Real opportunity to progress

For the right candidate, there is the potential to progress beyond the initial role, with the possibility of being offered an apprenticeship and developing a long-term career with the company.

If you're someone who wants to learn, progress and become an important part of a growing business, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
