Are you someone who takes pride in high standards, doesn’t shy away from hard work, and understands the importance of hygiene in food manufacturing? We’re looking for a Hygiene Operative to support our weekend team and help maintain a safe, clean, and compliant production environment.

About the Role

As a Hygiene Operative, you’ll play a vital role in keeping the factory operating to top standards by carrying out daily and weekly cleaning tasks, primarily in High Care. You’ll be responsible for dismantling machinery, deep cleaning, and ensuring all hygiene and safety processes are followed precisely.

You’ll be part of a team that works across departments to maintain hygiene standards, prevent listeria risks, and ensure the safe production of food products. The work can be physically demanding, but it’s essential, valued, and genuinely rewarding.

Monitor and replenish cleaning materials stock levels
Handle cleaning chemicals safely and responsibly
Promote the ‘One Team’ approach by supporting other departments where needed
Report incidents, risks, or concerns to your Team Leader or Manager
Take on additional reasonable tasks as required by management

What We’re Looking For

We’re after someone with a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a can-do attitude. Previous experience in a hygiene or cleaning role within food production is ideal, but not essential.

Food Safety Level 2
High attention to detail
Good communication skills
Reliable and proactive
Previous experience working in hygiene or food production
Knowledge of COSHH and safe chemical handling
