Managing a small production team, you will ensure production runs efficiently, customer orders are fulfilled on time, stock is well managed, food safety standards are maintained and the factory continues to improve.

Ensure accurate stock records are maintained.

Goods Out

Oversee dispatch and customer order fulfilment.
Ensure orders leave accurately, on time and to the required quality standards.
Coordinate finished stock ready for delivery.

Food Safety & Compliance

Maintain SALSA standards across the factory.
Ensure HACCP and food safety procedures are followed.
Keep factory documentation accurate and audit-ready.
Maintain cleaning schedules and compliance records.

Administration

Manage the factory email inbox.
Check supplier invoices and resolve invoice queries.
Maintain supplier records.
File compliance documentation.
Update factory notice boards.
Maintain staff training and personnel records.
Complete production and management reporting.

About You

You will:

Be a hands-on leader who enjoys working on the factory floor.
Lead by example and support your team every day.
Have experience managing production within a food manufacturing environment.
Be highly organised with excellent planning skills.
Have experience with stock control and purchasing.
Be confident managing food safety and quality systems.
Enjoy training and developing people.
Take ownership of problems and find practical solutions.

What We're Looking For

We don't want someone who wants to manage from behind a desk.

We're looking for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, getting involved in production, supporting colleagues and taking pride in producing exceptional products.

This role offers genuine autonomy and the opportunity to play a key part in the future growth of Grandpa Greene's Luxury Ice Cream Limited.

If you're looking for a role where you can make a real impact and take ownership of an entire manufacturing operation, we'd love to hear from you. You will report only to the company directors.
