Manufacturing Operative

Make great products. Be part of something bigger.

We’re looking for a Manufacturing Operative to join our friendly production team, helping to create our award-winning chocolate, jams and hot sauces. Every product we make supports our wider charitable mission, so this is more than just a manufacturing role—it’s an opportunity to be part of work that creates real impact.

If you’re someone who enjoys hands-on work, takes pride in producing quality products and likes being part of a supportive team, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing

Working alongside our Operations Manager and production team, you’ll help keep our kitchen running smoothly by:

• Producing high-quality chocolate, jams and hot sauces
• Supporting production, packing and dispatch
• Maintaining excellent food hygiene and safety standards
• Carrying out routine cleaning and equipment checks
• Monitoring product quality and recording production information
• Assisting with stock organisation and inventory
• Helping us continually improve the way we work

No two days are exactly the same, and you’ll play an important role in ensuring every product leaves us to the highest possible standard.

• Has a positive attitude and enjoys learning new skills
• Understands the importance of food hygiene and health & safety
