About the role

It’s a fast-paced environment where teamwork is essential, and your contribution will directly help deliver treats enjoyed across the country.
What we’re looking for in our Food Production Operatives:
You don’t need previous experience — just a positive attitude, reliability, and a willingness to learn. If you enjoy practical work, solving problems, and being part of a supportive team, you’ll fit right in.
We’re looking for reliable people who work well in a team and feel comfortable in a busy factory environment. Because the shifts rotate, living locally or having your own transport is a real advantage. Previous factory experience is useful but not essential — we hire for potential and will provide all the training you need.
Our application process
There’s no CV required. Instead, you’ll complete a short Arctic Shores assessment that helps us understand your strengths and working style. We want to get to know the real you, not just your work history.
