This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to start a career in food manufacturing while gaining practical experience and a recognised qualification through an apprenticeship programme.

Key responsibilities will include assisting with food preparation, meal assembly, packing finished products, stock rotation, ingredient handling, and maintaining cleanliness throughout the production area. You will also support quality control activities, ensuring products meet company specifications and food safety requirements.
Food safety and hygiene are a vital part of this role. You will receive training on industry standards and procedures, including allergen management, cleaning schedules, health and safety requirements, and quality assurance processes. You will learn how to follow recipes, production instructions, and manufacturing procedures accurately while maintaining excellent attention to detail.
This apprenticeship offers a fantastic opportunity to develop valuable skills, build confidence, and gain a strong understanding of food manufacturing processes. You will be supported by experienced colleagues who will help you develop your knowledge and practical abilities throughout your apprenticeship.
We are looking for someone who is reliable, hardworking, eager to learn, and enjoys working as part of a team.
