Salary: £28,000 -£30,000 per annum

Location: Kendal (on site)

About us:

Join one of Europe’s fastest-growing nutrition success stories.

Kendal Nutricare creates world-class nutrition for every stage of life — from Kendamil infant and toddler formula to Kendalife adult nutrition. We’re a family-owned, purpose-driven business with big global ambitions.

In 2025, we were ranked the UK’s fastest-growing food and drink company, with Kendamil now one of the fastest-growing baby brands in the world, the No.1 Organic formula in both the UK and USA, and available in 40+ countries (and counting).

As the only British infant formula manufacturer, we’re proud to produce our award-winning products here in the UK using British full-cream milk, with no palm oil or unnecessary additives — trusted by families worldwide.

We’re on an exciting path – join us!

The role:

As a Production Planner at Kendal Nutricare, you will play a key role in ensuring production operations run efficiently and according to plan. You will be responsible for developing and issuing accurate production schedules, coordinating material availability, and ensuring all materials released to production are QA-approved and within shelf-life requirements.

You will manage stock rotation, monitor incoming deliveries, and work closely with suppliers and internal departments to maintain continuity of supply and production efficiency. This role requires strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Coordinate delivery schedules and manage the return of non-conforming or substandard materials
Maintain accurate documentation and control systems within the department
Work closely with production teams to ensure stock accuracy and material availability
Raise and manage purchase orders in line with operational requirements
Support continuous improvement of planning and scheduling processes

What you’ll need:

Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
Strong organisational and administrative skills
Good numerical ability, with GCSEs (or equivalent) in Maths and English
High level of accuracy and attention to detail
Strong IT skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel
Ability to prioritise workload and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
Calm and professional approach under pressure
Previous experience in production planning or manufacturing environments
Knowledge of CSB systems would be advantageous, although full training will be provided

What you’ll get from us:

The opportunity to work for the fastest growing infant milk brand in Europe, alongside a young talented team dedicated to serving thousands of passionate customers.

We offer to all our employees:

33 days holiday (incl. bank holidays), pro rata to start date and FTE.
