HELP US BAKE QUALITY INTO SOMETHING BRAND NEW

What if your next career move gave you the opportunity to help shape the standards, culture and ways of working at a brand-new bakery?

Working alongside our Technical and Compliance leadership teams, you'll help ensure the bakery consistently meets the highest standards of food safety, quality, legality and compliance, as well as playing an important role in embedding our Unbeatable Quality standards.

This isn't simply an opportunity to join an established operation. You'll be helping to shape how a brand-new Warburtons bakery works.

You'll have the chance to contribute to the bakery's technical and compliance foundations, build relationships with new teams and make a visible impact as the site develops. It's an opportunity to bring your experience, ideas and attention to detail into an environment where the standards we establish today will support the bakery for years to come.

For someone looking to develop towards a future Technical or Compliance leadership role, Wakefield 41 offers an exciting place to learn, grow and make your mark.

Join us at Wakefield 41 and help us bake Unbeatable Quality into our newest bakery from the very beginning.

We're looking for someone who can bring a strong understanding of food safety and quality standards, together with an organised and collaborative approach.

Ideally, you'll have:

• A relevant food, bakery, technical or scientific qualification, or equivalent industry experience
• Knowledge of food safety legislation and quality management systems
• Experience of internal auditing, inspections or process control reviews
• An understanding of microbiology and hygiene standards within food manufacturing
• Experience of maintaining technical documentation and document control systems
• Strong investigation, problem-solving and root cause analysis skills
• The confidence to communicate with and influence colleagues at different levels

You don't need to know everything from day one. What matters is that you're eager to learn, committed to high standards and excited by the opportunity to develop your career within Food Technical and Compliance.

Method

At Warburtons, we never compromise on the safety or quality of our products. As our Technical and Compliance Coordinator, you'll help turn our policies, procedures and standards into everyday practice across the bakery.

You'll build strong relationships with teams throughout the bakery, providing approachable and practical support while encouraging everyone to understand the part they play in delivering safe, consistently high-quality products.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting compliance with food safety legislation, internal standards and external audit requirements
• Completing plant inspections, process control reviews and internal audits
• Supporting the preparation and delivery of scheduled external audits
• Maintaining and updating technical documentation, including Standard Operating Procedures, risk assessments, HACCP documentation and quality management systems
• Supporting investigations into food safety, quality and process issues
• Helping colleagues complete effective root cause analysis and identify appropriate corrective actions
• Monitoring compliance with product and process standards
• Identifying potential risks and supporting the completion of risk assessments
• Communicating technical and compliance requirements clearly across different departments
• Coaching and supporting bakery colleagues to build their confidence and understanding
• Supporting the introduction of new processes and championing continuous improvement
• Providing appropriate cover and support for the wider Technical and Compliance team when required

You'll need to be comfortable balancing attention to detail with the ability to build relationships and influence others. You'll know when to challenge constructively, when to coach and when to make decisions based on the available facts.

Most importantly, you'll bring energy, curiosity and a genuine desire to help create a bakery where food safety, quality and compliance are part of everything we do.
