  • Stretch your learning and development, by identifying areas you need or want support, so that we can provide you with the opportunities, coaching and responsibility to grow.
  • Be an active member of the company’s leadership team and play a key role in shaping the day to day management and culture of the wider team.

Your experience

  • Experience overseeing a busy production environment.
  • Passion for great food, slick operations and consistently brilliant flavours.
  • A sense of pride in achieving the highest levels of efficiency and growing your team and the scale of operations.
  • A constant desire to improve quality, culture and systems.
  • NVQ level 1, 2 & 3, HACCP Level 2 & Food Safety Certifications
  • A personal focus not only on running an efficient team but also on promoting and improving cross-team cooperation.

Desirable:

  • Experience in a cook-freeze or cook-chill food production environment
  • Experience in a BRC accredited environment.

The qualifications and experiences above are a guide and we would still love to hear from candidates with more or less experience, provided the requisite skills can be demonstrated.
