Manufacturing — New Malden

Contract: Full time | Salary: £12.80

Ready to roll up your sleeves and be part of something sweet? Whether you’re in one of our bustling standalone factories or a show-stopping theatre store, you’ll be at the heart of the action, helping produce the doughnuts everyone loves.

In our standalone factories, you’ll join a dedicated team responsible for mixing, processing, and packaging our world-famous doughnuts — fresh and ready to ship to local stores and supermarket shelves. It’s fast-paced, hands-on work where every role plays a key part in our success.

Depending on the location, you may be applying to work in one of our unique theatre stores — where the factory is front and centre, and the doughnut-making magic happens live for customers to see. When the Hot light is on, it’s showtime! Guests gather to watch the doughnuts being mixed, fried, and glazed in real time — and your part of the performance.

No baking experience? No problem. We provide full training — all you need is a great attitude, a team mindset, and a readiness to learn. Whether you're behind the scenes or in the spotlight, this is your chance to grow your career while making something people love.

Pay that pays off

• Hourly rate, paid every two weeks
• Plus £1/hour extra for those midnight-to-6am shifts

Proper Contracts, Real Benefits

• No zero-hour contracts
• Holiday pay
• Eligible? You’ll also be enrolled in our pension and life assurance schemes

Training? We’ve got you covered

• No experience? No problem
• If you care about quality, love working with your hands, and don’t mind a bit of repetition on your feet, we’ll show you how to decorate like a pro and grow your career from there

Doughnut perks (literally)

• Free doughnuts and hot drinks on your break
• Celebrating something? Have a box on us!
• 50% off doughnuts and 30% off drinks in any UK store

Dress the part

• We provide your logo top, safety boots and PPE
• You bring your own workwear trousers and a can-do attitude

Extra sweet extras

• Treat Box: Discounts from top brands and supermarkets
• WeCare: 24/7 online GP, mental health support, fitness and wellbeing tools, legal and financial advice
• Grocery Aid: Emotional and financial help when you need it

What Will I Do As a Food Processing Operative

You’ll be responsible for mixing our secret ingredients, filling, decorating, and boxing all our yummy doughnuts by hand daily. You’ll work in a fast-paced and versatile manufacturing environment, with tight deadlines especially during peak times throughout the week and year. Expectations of quality and food safety standards are high; therefore, consistency and ability to follow food processing specifications is key.

What we’re looking for in a Food Processing Operative

• Flexibility to work an 8 hour day, in line with site-specific manufacturing shift requirements
• Excellent availability to work between Monday to Sunday
• Quality focused, team players, who are looking to master their craft, while not taking themselves too seriously
• Excellent work ethic, reliability, coachability and a positive attitude
