Manufacturing Operative

Make great products. Be part of something bigger.

We’re looking for a Manufacturing Operative to join our friendly production team, helping to create our award-winning chocolate, jams and hot sauces. Every product we make supports our wider charitable mission, so this is more than just a manufacturing role—it’s an opportunity to be part of work that creates real impact.

If you’re someone who enjoys hands-on work, takes pride in producing quality products and likes being part of a supportive team, we’d love to hear from you.

\n
• Carrying out routine cleaning and equipment checks
\n
• Monitoring product quality and recording production information
\n
• Assisting with stock organisation and inventory
\n
• Helping us continually improve the way we work
