Days & Nights Available

We are currently recruiting hard‑working Production Operatives to support a busy animal feed manufacturing site. This is a great opportunity for reliable candidates who want ongoing work, structured training, and the chance to upskill within a production environment.

The Role

As a Production Operative, your duties will include:

  • Working on a fast‑paced production line
  • Handling and packing animal feed products
  • Carrying out manual handling tasks
  • Maintaining high health & safety and quality standards
  • Supporting forklift drivers and the wider production team when required

This is a standing role and can involve long shifts, so a good level of physical fitness is essential.

Shift Patterns

  • Days: 6:00am - 2:00pm
  • (Flexibility required to work between 8-12 hours)
  • Nights: 6:00pm - 6:00am (4 on / 4 off)

Flexibility is key, particularly during peak periods.

Pay & Bonuses

  • £12.71 per hour
  • £30 night shift bonus
  • £130 weekend bonus when both Saturday & Sunday are worked in the same week
  • Pay increases available as training is completed and skills develop

What We're Looking For

  • A strong work ethic and good initiative
  • Willingness to learn and upskill
  • Reliable, punctual, and committed to shifts
  • Previous production or warehouse experience beneficial but not essential

Forklift drivers and experienced production operatives are also welcomed.

If you're looking for consistent work, enjoy a hands‑on role, and want the opportunity to progress within production, apply today.
