This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on, getting the best out of a team and making sure production targets are met without compromising on quality or safety.

You'll play an important role in the day-to-day running of the department, helping to build a motivated team, maintain high standards and ensure orders are packed accurately and efficiently. You'll also have the opportunity to take on additional responsibility, supporting the Production Manager and stepping in when needed.

What will you be doing?

• Leading from the front: Managing the day-to-day activities of the packing team, allocating work fairly and keeping everyone focused on the plan.

• Getting the best out of people: Coaching and training team members, monitoring performance and helping to build an engaged, motivated team.

• Keeping production on track: Monitoring progress against daily targets, providing updates and communicating any issues clearly.

• Maintaining high standards: Ensuring stock is used correctly, housekeeping is maintained and the team follows the right-first-time approach.

• Championing health and safety: Taking responsibility for safe working practices and ensuring standards are consistently met.

• Supporting the wider operation: Working closely with the Production Manager and providing cover when required.

What are we looking for?

We're looking for a confident and organised team leader who can keep a team motivated, particularly when things get busy. You'll be comfortable making decisions, solving problems and taking ownership of your department.

You'll also bring:

• Excellent attention to detail and a focus on getting things right first time.

• Strong communication skills and the confidence to lead a team.

• The ability to manage multiple priorities and work to tight deadlines.

• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office, Outlook, Word and Excel.

• A proactive attitude, with the confidence to take responsibility and challenge things when needed.

Experience in a packing, production or fresh produce environment would be beneficial.

What's in it for you?

• £15.58 per hour for up to 40 hours per week.

• Monday to Friday working pattern, starting at 6:30am.

• Overtime available.

• Weekly pay.

• Full-time, permanent employment.

• Training and ongoing development opportunities.

• The chance to join an established, growing business that values its people and is committed to investing in its future.
