This is a genuine opportunity to build a long-term career—not just step into another job.

• £16.79 (Hours worked on a Saturday)
The Role
As a Supervisor, you will take full ownership of your production area—driving performance, maintaining quality standards, and leading your team to success.
You will play a key role in the wider operation, stepping up in the absence of the Production Manager, contributing to decision-making, and representing your department with confidence. This position is designed for individuals who are ready to grow into senior leadership and make a meaningful impact.

Experience within food manufacturing (poultry experience advantageous)
Previous supervisory or team leadership experience
A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
Strong leadership and communication skills
A hands-on approach with a passion for continuous improvement
Clear ambition to progress into a Production Manager role
Key Responsibilities
Leadership & Team Development
Lead, motivate, and develop your team to consistently achieve targets
Set clear expectations and drive accountability
Foster a positive, high-performing team culture
Performance & Continuous Improvement
Drive key performance metrics including OEE, yield, and waste reduction
Analyse data to identify opportunities and implement improvements
Take ownership of problem-solving and operational efficiency
Communication
Lead daily briefings, team huddles, and performance updates
Communicate effectively across all levels of the business
Promote a collaborative, “one team” environment
Operations
Manage production schedules, output, and plan attainment
Ensure GMP, food safety, and quality standards are upheld at all times
