Fancy working somewhere a little sweeter than your average warehouse?

We're looking for reliable, enthusiastic people to join a friendly and growing premium chocolate company based in a lovely, modern facility in Rye Harbour.

This isn't your typical heavy warehouse role. Initially, you'll be working mainly within the Packing department, helping to prepare and pack premium chocolate products ready for customers.

It's hands-on, fast-paced work, and you'll be on your feet throughout the day, working alongside a welcoming and supportive team.

What will you actually be doing?

Your day could include:

• Preparing packaging ready for chocolate products
• Applying labels to packaging by hand
• Filling product tubes and containers by hand
• Packing finished products carefully and accurately
• Checking packaging and products for quality
• Preparing finished products ready for the next stage
• Keeping your work area clean, tidy and organised
• Following instructions and working to daily targets
• Helping out in other areas of the operation when required

You'll receive full training, so previous warehouse or packing experience isn't essential.

Who are we looking for?

For us, attitude and reliability are really important.

You'll need to be someone who:

• Turns up reliably and on time
• Enjoys practical, hands-on work
• Can work at a good pace while maintaining accuracy
• Is comfortable being on your feet throughout the shift
• Listens carefully and follows instructions
• Can use your own initiative when needed
• Takes pride in doing a job properly
• Works well with others and will fit into a friendly, close-knit team
• Is looking for an opportunity where you can learn and develop

A temporary job that could become much more

This is a growing company, and they're looking for good people who can grow with them.

The role will initially be temporary, but for candidates who prove themselves, are reliable and become a valued part of the team, there is genuine potential to move into a permanent position.

So if you're looking for somewhere you can settle, learn and potentially build something longer term, this could be a brilliant opportunity.

Getting to Rye Harbour

If you drive or have your own transport, you'll work 8:00am-4:30pm, Monday to Friday.

Don't drive? That's absolutely fine. The site can be reached using public transport, and the company can accommodate an 8:30am-4:30pm shift for people relying on the local bus service.

Why apply?

• Work with premium chocolate products
• Join a genuinely friendly and welcoming team
• Lovely, clean and modern working environment
• Hands-on packing and production work
• Full training provided
• Monday-Friday daytime hours (potential overtime available during the busier periods)
• £12.71 per hour
• Join a growing company
• Genuine temp-to-perm potential for the right people

If you reliable, hardworking and ready to get stuck in, we'd love to hear from you.

Come for the job. Stay for the chocolate.
