Assembly Team Member

We’re currently expanding our Assembly Day Shift Team and are looking for great people to join us.

Our Assembly Team play a crucial role in bringing our dishes together so they start to look like the meals you know and love. With all components prepared and cooked, you’ll assemble each dish with care - from layering our lasagnes to adding sauces and finishing touches to our much‑loved mac and cheese.

You’ll work 34 hours across 3 days
, giving you 4 days off every week - more time to rest, recharge and enjoy life outside of work.

• Saturday & Sunday: 6am – 6pm

• Accurately weigh portions to be added to each dish
• Add and arrange dish components in line with specifications
