You will be responsible for completing production processes to meet high standards of quality and performance while adhering to health & safety regulations.

Your tasks will include using your knowledge of our products and processes to produce coffins, working to meet daily targets, and following standard operating procedures.

You will become multiskilled to cover for absent colleagues and be enthusiastic about training on all factory processes, including external training if necessary.

If you are eager to learn new skills and want to be part of a warm and welcoming team, we want to hear from you.

Along with a competitive salary, benefits include:

• Up to 20% colleague discount on products
• Access to exclusive retail discounts, holiday discounts, and savings on days out
• Option to buy additional holiday leave
• Recognition programs for personal and professional achievements
• Enhanced family-friendly policies
• Profit sharing for eligible colleagues
