Manufacturing Runner

We’re the leading food producer for the health and social care sector, providing delicious, nutritious and sustainable meals for people at home or in care. We’re also the parent company of Wiltshire Farm Foods, the UK’s premier home-delivery service for ready-made meals. Through our wide range of well-presented, nutritious meals to suit every taste and dietary need, we aim to make a real difference to lives of elderly and vulnerable people in care. We’re proud to be a Living Wage employer and member of the Ethical Trading Initiative. We support British food and farming and operate a successful programme of waste reduction and resource efficiency across our whole business. In addition to your salary you will receive a comprehensive training program, 25 days annual leave holiday entitlement, the ability to buy additional annual leave, retail discounts, free car parking, subsidised staff restaurant, free turkey (or voucher) at Christmas and much more ! We are looking for a Runner in the Meals team, keeping the lines replenished with materials in order to avoid any downtime. Each Runner is responsible for providing materials to their dedicated line, which will typically produce 20,000 meals per shift. Once a production run is complete, the Runner will then work with the team on the line changeover. Successful applicants need to be able to sustain performance throughout the shift and to be capable of frequent manual handling and material movement. As a part of this role you will also need to change films and labels when the team leader is unavailable. Where and when needed you may be required to work on the production line. This is a very physical role and requires a lot of manual handling of materials from the Kanban onto the workstations.
