The Role

Our Production Supervisors at Geary’s are the best thing since sliced bread – quite literally! You’re responsible for managing and developing our team of Operatives to ensure the delicious bread we produce, and package is of the best possible quality. Your main responsibilities include:

• Ensuring the Production team adheres to all processes and controls
• Adhering to a daily plan and communicating a daily shift report to the wider business
• Meeting business KPIs
• Driving a strong, non-compromising Health and Safety culture
• Providing support and training to the team
• Liaising with labour agencies and providing feedback on performance and service level
• Effectively communicating with other departments in the wider business
• Taking an active role in audits and high-profile visits
• Deputising for the Shift Operations Manager when required

You’ll be moving around a busy bakery, carrying out manual and non-manual tasks, which may be physically demanding at times.

About Us

At Geary’s, we’re on a crusade to make proper bread more accessible to more people. We’re passionate about re-imagining the way Great Britain thinks about their everyday loaf. This passion is at the heart of everything we do, and have done, since 1906.

We are ‘born and bread’ in Leicestershire and proud of our long-standing heritage. Today, we operate from three sites on a 24/7 operation. We’re made up of over 800 people: a friendly, diverse, and outgoing team, passionate about making a difference to the bakery industry.

We provide full training and support, and the chance to learn new skills from some of the best master bakers in the country. We invest in those who are committed to our craft and offer great opportunities to develop into supervisory and management roles. Our brilliant benefits include free delicious bread, a Cycle to Work scheme.

Plus, if you refer a friend to join our team, you could earn up to £500!

About You

At Geary’s, we look for people who show up every day to do their best. We’re a passionate, friendly team and look for the same qualities in our new recruits. We firmly believe your attitude and approach is just as important (if not, more so) than the skills and experience on your CV.

What we’re looking for:

• Great communication skills (we love to have a chat)
• A passion to learn and develop
• Resilience and tenacity to drive motivation
• Experience in food manufacturing (even better if it was in a bakery)
• Good understanding of Food Safety and Health and Safety (the important bits!)
• Experience in leading and supporting a team of people (no matter how big or small)
• Flexible approach to working hours
