Join the team behind Vadasz
Major Recruitment is looking for Food Production Operatives to join the team behind Vadasz, one of the UK’s leading chilled pickles and ferments brands and a Great Taste Award winner.
You will help produce a colourful range of fresh, chilled products, including kimchi, sauerkraut and crunchy pickles. This is a hands-on role in a busy food-production environment with consistent hours, full training and opportunities to develop your skills.
Important information about the working environment
This position is based in a kimchi and fermented-food production area. Ingredients such as cabbage, garlic, spices and fermented vegetables create a strong and distinctive aroma throughout the department.
The smell is a natural part of making authentic fermented products, but it may not suit everyone. We want applicants to understand this before applying so they know exactly what to expect from the workplace.
What will you be doing?
- Preparing, mixing, filling and packing Vadasz kimchi, sauerkraut and chilled pickles
- Handling fresh vegetables, seasonings and fermented ingredients
- Checking products to make sure they meet quality standards
- Operating production equipment following full training
- Keeping your work area clean, organised and safe
- Following food-safety, hygiene and GMP procedures
- Completing production paperwork accurately
- Supporting product changeovers
- Reporting equipment faults or production issues
- Working with your team to achieve daily production targets
- Helping in other parts of the production department when required
What are we looking for?
You do not need previous production experience—we will provide the training you need. This role could be a great fit if you:
- Are reliable, punctual and ready to learn
- Are comfortable working 12-hour day shifts
- Can work in a busy, active production environment
- Have good attention to detail
- Enjoy practical, hands-on work
- Can communicate well and work as part of a team
- Are comfortable working around the strong aroma of fermented vegetables, garlic and spices
Previous food-manufacturing experience or Food Safety/HACCP knowledge would be helpful, but it is not essential.
What’s in it for you?
- £13.60 per hour + Overtime (voluntary)
- Consistent hours on a regular day-shift rota
- A predictable two-week working pattern
- Full training provided
- No previous experience required
- Regular days off during the week
- Support from the Major Recruitment on-site team
- Experience with an established, award-winning food brand
- Opportunities to learn new production skills
If you are reliable, enjoy hands-on work and are comfortable working in a fermented-food environment, we would love to hear from you.
