About the Role – Hygiene Manager (Nights)

As Hygiene Manager - Nights, you will lead and develop the hygiene team during the overnight shift — ensuring the site remains spotless, audit-ready, and fully compliant with health & safety and food safety standards.

You’ll balance people leadership with process ownership — managing team performance, improving standards, leading audits, and ensuring strict control of chemical usage and hygiene procedures across the facility.

• Oversee all hygiene operations in line with food safety, H&S, HACCP, and customer audit requirements

• Deliver continuous improvements in hygiene standards — both visual and microbiological

• Conduct hygiene audits and ensure the site remains audit-ready at all times

• Ensure full compliance with chemical handling, COSHH protocols, and cleaning documentation

• Train and develop the team on hygiene processes, SOPs, and safe systems of work

• Monitor and manage cleaning chemical stock levels and equipment usage

• Work collaboratively with technical, engineering, and operations teams to maintain hygiene excellence

• Be an active contributor to HACCP and VACCP reviews

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Hygiene Manager, Hygiene Supervisor, or similar in a food manufacturing or FMCG environment

• Experience working in high-risk, low-risk, or low-care food production

• IOSH Managing Safely (essential)

• Food Safety Level 3 and HACCP Level 3 certified

• Strong knowledge of COSHH, manual handling, and safe systems of work

• Track record of leading, training, and developing teams in a fast-paced environment

• Audit and compliance knowledge – internal, customer, and BRC

• A hands-on leader who is calm under pressure and solutions-driven

• Able to work nights, Monday to Friday, and live within commutable distance of Gainsborough

What’s in It for You?

• Competitive salary: £40,000 – £44,000 depending on experience

• Perkbox access and a comprehensive employee benefits package

• Company pension

• Free product allowance

• Loyalty and wellbeing initiatives

• Ongoing learning, training, and personal development

• Be part of a business with major growth plans and strong family values
