Here in Worcester, a snack food factory needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

  • Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones
  • Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
  • Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe
  • Record batch codes and counts on the hourly production sheet
  • Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product

Must-haves

  • Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
  • You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
  • Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
  • Available for rotating day and night shifts

Extra points for

  • Some basic first-aid training
  • Previous work in a food or FMCG factory

What you get

  • Staff shop with discounted factory products
  • Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay
  • Company transport on some night shifts
