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.

Supporting production, packing and dispatch
Maintaining excellent food hygiene and safety standards
Carrying out routine cleaning and equipment checks
Monitoring product quality and recording production information
Assisting with stock organisation and inventory
Helping us continually improve the way we work
