Job Role
We are looking for a proactive, reliable & skilled Food Production & Fulfilment Operative to join our growing team. This is a hands-on role working closely with the Fulfilment Manager to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of our packing and dispatch operations. You will play a key part in maintaining high standards of quality, efficiency, and organisation while supporting the wider fulfilment team.
Responsibilities include:
Packing Finished Products:
- Filling hoppers with freshly baked products and operating automated packaging machinery to package up the finished products.
- Ensure each product is of a high quality, with correct traceability, ready to be packed and distributed to our customers nationwide.
- Always working safely in accordance with policies, procedures and legislation.
- Always maintaining a high level of cleanliness by following opening and clean down procedures.
Picking & Packing Ecommerce & Wholesale Orders:
- Picking, wrapping, packing, and dispatching online and wholesale orders.
- Have a keen eye for detail, ensuring each order is packaged correctly and neatly.
- Receiving, stocking, and replenishing product inventory.
- General department housekeeping and assisting with deliveries.
The job role will also involve general cleaning duties, following cleaning procedures and some administrative tasks that assist the Fulfilment Manager.
Who we are looking for:
- Previous experience in fulfilment, warehouse, production, or packing environments is desirable but candidates with transferable experience also welcome.
- Experience operating machinery is desirable, though full training can be provided for candidates with transferable experience or an interest in technology and machinery.
- Strong attention to detail and pride in producing accurate, high-quality work.
- Good organisational skills and ability to prioritise tasks.
- Positive attitude with the ability to work independently and as part of a small team.
- Reliable, punctual, and flexible approach to work.
- A good understanding of food hygiene and health & safety practices is desirable.
What We Offer
- Opportunity to join a growing and ambitious small business
- Full training and development opportunities

Experience:
This is a varied, hands-on role combining the operation of automated food-packaging machinery with quality control, traceability, stock handling and the accurate picking and dispatch of ecommerce and wholesale orders.
Previous experience in food production, packing, fulfilment or machinery operation would be advantageous, but it is not essential. Some of our strongest team members have joined us from completely different industries, so we are equally interested in candidates who can demonstrate excellent attention to detail, practical ability, reliability and the confidence to learn new systems and machinery.
Full training will be provided on our products, equipment and internal procedures. However, this role requires someone who takes pride in getting things right, follows processes carefully and can become confident working independently once trained.
Certification:
- Level 2 food hygiene certificate (advantageous but not essential as training will be given)
Shifts:
Monday-Friday 9-5pm (30 min unpaid lunch break)
If you are hardworking, organised, have great attention to detail and are looking to step into a production & fulfilment role within a small, friendly team environment, we’d love to hear from you.
