Multi-Skilled Operative

At Ryvita, we’re proud to be a 100-year-old brand with a brilliant heritage — and products that taste just as good today as they did a century ago, thanks to the amazing people who make it all happen. Our home is in Poole, and we also have a manufacturing site in Bardney, where we lovingly bake every single Ryvita crispbread and, for our sister business, craft the delicious Dorset Cereals that so many people enjoy every morning.

We’re a friendly, passionate team that supports each other to do our very best — because we believe Ryvita should be a great place to work as well as a great brand. The way we work matters just as much as the results we achieve. Whether we’re dreaming up new products or working hard to get them onto shelves, we care deeply about doing things the right way.

Every day brings something different — and that’s exactly how we like it! We embrace challenges, roll up our sleeves, and use our collective talents to find smart solutions together.

We are on the lookout for a Multi‑Skilled Operative to join the Ryvita team in Poole. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to run production lines and manufacture our brilliant products. This is a permanent, part‑time position, working 20 hours per week, Monday – Friday 16:00 – 20:00.
