• Record production quantities, weight checks, and any quality issues accurately on shift paperwork

• Work at pace to meet daily production targets without compromising on accuracy or food safety

• Follow correct FIFO procedures when handling chilled or ambient finished product

• Support end-of-shift cleaning, line changeovers, and preparation for the next production run

• Good understanding of food hygiene and safety practices (Food Hygiene Level 2 certificate preferred)

• Physically fit and able to stand for extended periods and perform repetitive tasks throughout the shift

• Reliable, punctual, and able to work early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays as required

• A team player with a positive attitude and a willingness to support colleagues across the production floor

Desirable

• Experience working with checkweighers, tray sealers, or automated labelling equipment

• Familiarity with allergen management in a packaged food or ready meal environment

• Experience working to production targets and completing shift paperwork or quality logs

• Basic understanding of HACCP principles and temperature control for chilled products
