We're looking for a proactive, reliable, and hands-on Whole Bird Line Section Leader to join our production team at 2 Sisters Willand. You'll be the first point of leadership on the shop floor, overseeing around 60 team members across four whole bird lines.

This is a critical role in ensuring smooth daily operations - from planning and staffing, to maintaining food safety standards, hygiene compliance and continuous improvement.

• Maintaining high standards of food safety, hygiene and GMP
• Supporting audits and acting as a key contact during visits
• Managing KPIs, waste control and continuous improvement initiatives
  
  

What We're Looking For

You don't need experience - just the right attitude and approach. We're looking for someone who:

• Is fluent in written and spoken English (essential for documentation and communication)
• Has strong attention to detail and organisational skills
• Is a confident communicator, able to build trust and lead a large team
• Can work proactively and stay calm under pressure
• Is flexible and reliable - happy to cover shifts or step in when needed
• Is comfortable working in a fast-paced chilled production environment
• No prior experience required - full training and qualifications provided!
  
  

What's In It For You

• A clear path into operational leadership within one of the UK's leading poultry producers
• Full support and development - including on-the-job training and formal qualifications
• A chance to work in a high-performing, structured team with real responsibility from day one
• A shift pattern that offers great work-life balance (4 days per week, early finish)
  
  

What To Expect From Us

• A straightforward, single-stage interview process onsite with the Hiring Manager
• A factory tour so you can see exactly what the role involves
• A friendly, driven team who value hard work, honesty, and a positive attitude
