Full job description

Job Purpose

The Production Team Leader is the senior shop-floor leadership role on site, following the phase-out of the standalone Production Supervisor position. The role owns end-to-end leadership of the shift-based production team, ensuring output, quality, food safety, and health & safety standards are consistently met across the full shift, and deputises for the Production Manager in their absence. The Team Leader translates the production plan into safe, efficient, on-time execution, holds full accountability for shift performance, and provides coaching and direction to Production Operatives.

Key Responsibilities

Take full ownership of shift-level leadership and supervision across the production team, including responsibilities previously held at Production Supervisor level, to meet Safety, Quality, Cost, Delivery and People (SQCDP) targets.
Plan and allocate labour across the shift/lines in line with the production schedule, adjusting resource in real time to meet output requirements and covering gaps across the shift as needed.
Ensure all products are manufactured in accordance with BRCGS, HACCP, and site quality procedures, and that hygiene and GMP standards are maintained throughout the shift.
Own shift-level health & safety compliance, including toolbox talks, risk assessments, and immediate escalation of near-misses or incidents; act as the senior on-shift point of escalation for H&S matters.
Monitor, record, and take ownership of line and shift performance (OEE, waste, downtime, cost), identifying root causes and driving continuous improvement using Lean / Six Sigma tools.
Deputise for the Production Manager during absence or leave, representing Production in cross-functional meetings and taking decisions on shift priorities.
Carry out return-to-work interviews, absence management, and employee relations casework for the team, escalating to HR where required.
Deliver on-the-job training, coaching, and skills development for operatives, including induction of new starters and cross-skilling across the line.
Complete shift handover reports and communicate effectively with the incoming shift and Production Manager, ensuring continuity across shift changeovers.
Lead recruitment input, onboarding, and performance management (1-2-1s, objective setting, mid-year and end-of-year reviews) for the shift team.
Ensure correct use, care, and reporting of faults for plant, equipment, and PPE, liaising directly with Engineering on breakdowns and prioritising repairs.
Champion a positive, engaged team culture and act as a role model for site standards and behaviours, providing the senior operational presence on the shop floor during the shift.

Person Specification

Essential

Proven experience as a Team Leader, Shift Leader, or Supervisor within a food manufacturing, FMCG, or fast-paced production environment, with demonstrable ownership of a full shift.

Sound understanding of health & safety legislation and safe systems of work, with experience acting as the senior on-shift escalation point.
Strong people-management skills, with experience motivating, coaching, and holding teams accountable, including ER casework.
Numerate and comfortable working with production data, KPIs, and basic reporting (Excel / ERP systems).
Clear, confident communicator across all levels of the site, able to represent Production in the Production Manager's absence.

Desirable

Lean Six Sigma / Continuous Improvement training.
IOSH Managing Safely or NEBOSH qualification.
