Looking for a job that actually works for you?

We're recruiting Production Operatives to join a well-established, global manufacturing business at its Penrith site during an exciting period of investment, development and growth.

The site is continuing to evolve, with significant investment in new production lines, technology and manufacturing processes, increasing capacity and creating new opportunities across the operation.

And they're investing in their people too.

There's a real focus on training and development, giving you the opportunity to learn new skills, gain experience within a large-scale manufacturing environment and potentially build a long‑term career with a global organisation.

Pick the shift that works for you!

Want mornings? Choose mornings.

Prefer backs? Choose backs.

Night owl? Choose nights.

Or, if you're happy to rotate across all three, there are opportunities to progress into a permanent role and access the full employee benefits package.

Mornings: 6am - 2pm

Backs: 2pm - 10pm

Nights: 10pm - 6am

Earn up to £15.59 per hour - equivalent to £32,427 per annum based on the highest shift rate and a 40-hour week.

• Carrying out basic quality checks
• Keeping your work area clean, organised and safe

No manufacturing experience? That's okay. Full training is provided, so attitude, reliability and a willingness to learn are just as important as previous experience.

We're looking for people who are:

• Reliable and punctual
• Positive, hardworking and willing to learn
• Safety-conscious
• Comfortable working as part of a team
• Attentive to detail and quality
• Able to follow instructions and processes
• Able to communicate effectively in basic English

More than just a temporary job...If you're looking for something longer term, this could be a great opportunity to get your foot in the door with a major global organisation.

For those progressing into permanent employment, benefits include:

• Extensive training and development, including internal and external courses
