- Ensuring safe use of facilities and equipment, while also ensuring a safe working environment
- Operating a forklift truck if needed and loading lorries
- Organising production processes to maximise efficiency and meet targets
- Communicating and working effectively with colleagues across the business

**Health and Safety and Food Safety**
- Meet all personal and role responsibilities as required under the company health and safety at work policy and HACCP
- Work in a safe manner to eliminate personal risk and risk to others

- Support and promote an active Food and Safety Culture
- Address or report any hazards observed immediately, health or food related
- Ensure correct PPE is always worn by the team
- Maintain personal hygiene to a high standard
- Immediately investigate & report any workplace incidents

**What’s in it for you?**
