The Opportunity

We are recruiting for a Trainee Miller to join a well-established and rapidly growing flour manufacturing business based in Oxfordshire.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone from a manual, hands on or labouring background who is looking to learn a skilled trade and develop a long term career within the milling industry.

No previous milling experience is required. Full training will be provided, including a structured Distance Learning Programme, so attitude, reliability and a willingness to learn are key.

• Carrying out practical, hands on tasks throughout the milling process
• Learning how to make manual adjustments to machinery and equipment
• Monitoring production and ensuring products meet required standards
• Supporting the wider production and milling team
• Completing full on the job training alongside the Distance Learning Programme
• Following health, safety and food production procedures
• Progressing onto the full shift pattern once training is completed

What We're Looking For

• Full UK driving licence and own transport
• Previous experience within a manual, labouring, production, warehouse, manufacturing or similarly hands on role
• Comfortable carrying out physical and practical work
• Flexible and willing to work 12 hour shifts, including nights, following training
• A genuine willingness to learn and develop a new skill
• Reliable with a strong work ethic
• No previous milling experience necessary

What's On Offer

You’ll be joining a fast growing business with ambitious plans for the future, making this a great opportunity to get into the industry at junior level and develop as the company continues to expand.

Salary: £28,000 per annum

Full training and development provided.
