About the Scunthorpe Site

The Scunthorpe site is a whole bird processing site, we process everything, nothing goes to waste.

We have a strong multicultural workforce; you’ll hear many languages on a daily basis. But we work together, communication might not always be verbal, but we make it work as a team.

The working environment is chilled and noisy; we provide all necessary PPE but advise you wear layers to ensure you’re comfortable.

There are 2 main working environments within the factory for General Operatives:

• Cutting - involves cutting the bird into set portions, such as breast meat, wings and thigh fillets, which will then be packed into the appropriate size packaging. Some cutting is completed by machines, some by hand. You will be trained to undertake manual cutting/filleting and salary premiums are available for those who excel.
• Whole Bird - involves dealing with the unportioned birds, seasoning and packing the whole chicken, loading the product into baskets that will then be stacked onto pallets.

What’s in it for you?

Other than an hourly rate well above NMW (our minimum rate is £12.50), we also pride ourselves on developing staff potential, with many opportunities for in house training along with externally supplied qualifications and support, to help drive your career forward.

Other benefits include:

• A free bus service (7 pickup locations across Ashby & Scunthorpe).
• Refer a friend scheme (£100).
