Job description

This role is ideal for someone with an interest in food production, catering, or manufacturing who wants to develop a long-term career within the food industry.

As our business continues to grow, we are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Manufacturing/Kitchen Assistant Apprentice to join our production team and support the day-to-day running of our kitchen and manufacturing operations. 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.

The successful candidate will work closely with our kitchen, production, and quality teams, helping to ensure that our products are prepared, produced, packed, and dispatched to the highest standards. You will gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and learn how to operate safely and effectively within a food production facility.

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. A positive attitude, willingness to follow instructions, and commitment to maintaining high standards are essential. In return, you will gain experience within a growing business that is passionate about producing great food and supporting employee development.

This role is ideal for someone with an interest in food production, catering, or manufacturing who wants to develop a long-term career within the food industry.
