A bit about the role
As one of our Hygiene Operatives, you’ll play a vital role in keeping our people, products and customers safe. In a food production environment, maintaining the highest standards of hygiene is essential — and you’ll be at the heart of making that happen.
You’ll be responsible for keeping our production areas, machinery and external site areas clean, safe and audit-ready. No two cleans are necessarily the same, from routine daily cleaning through to full deep cleans involving dismantling machinery, using specialist cleaning chemicals and making sure every area is thoroughly cleaned, checked and signed off.
It’s a hands-on, physical role, so if you like staying active rather than sitting behind a desk, this could be a great fit! You’ll be on your feet, moving around the site and working as part of a team to make sure everything is kept spotless and maintained to the highest possible standard.
Your work will also be an important part of helping us maintain our BRCGS accreditation and the high standards our customers expect from us.
What we're looking for
Previous experience in food production, warehousing or professional cleaning would be an advantage, ideally within a fresh produce, chilled or food manufacturing environment — but it’s not essential as full training will be provided
A reliable and punctual approach, with good time-management skills
Comfortable with a physical, active role, including lifting items of up to 20kg
Good attention to detail, with strong organisational skills
A positive attitude and a willingness to get stuck in
A genuine team player who is happy to support colleagues
Flexible and adaptable, with a willingness to learn
Able to work confidently both independently and as part of a team
Enthusiastic, self-motivated and committed to maintaining high standards
Why this role matters
Hygiene isn't just about making things look clean — it's about protecting our products, our customers and our reputation. You'll have a direct impact on the standards we achieve every day and will be an important part of keeping our operation running safely and efficiently.
Work Pattern: Monday to Friday 6am - 3:30pm, 45 hrs. per week
