Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom Sainsbury's Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Food Production Manager to join our team at Sainsbury's. As a Food Production Manager, you will be responsible for managing the entire food production operation in one of our busiest stores, overseeing people and processes across bakery, pizza, and hot food.

Key Responsibilities
  • Manage day-to-day pressures and plan ahead for the next couple of weeks to ensure the delivery of a range of food products that meet our quality standards.
  • Agree shift patterns, allocate tasks and areas of focus, and be a visible leader for great service.
  • Coach and motivate your team to work together productively and solve performance issues by giving honest feedback, supporting people through change, and setting expectations.
What Success Looks Like
  • You are making decisions at pace and consistently providing a brilliant handover to the next shift manager.
  • Your team puts themselves in our customers' shoes, taking pride and passion in how we can deliver them great products while making things better for them.
  • You are developing your confidence, feeling increasingly empowered to run your section of the store, and coached by your manager.
  • You are building your profile and cultivating effective relationships with colleagues, customers, and other managers across the store.
About You

We are open-minded about your background, and you could be leading a food preparation team anywhere: retail, hospitality, a restaurant, or bakery. Perhaps you are looking for a new challenge after a career break or transferring to retail with skills from another sector.

What matters most is that you are ambitious to develop, dedicated to bringing out the best in others, and passionate about customer service and great food. After all, that's what our stores are all about.

Where Next?

The Sainsbury's instore management structure is designed to help people like you progress, and when joining us, you will receive a clear induction and orientation alongside a training plan specific to your needs that you will build alongside your manager.

As a Food Production Manager, you could move into a Lead Manager role in Food, In-store Customer Experience, Clothing, or General Merchandise. Looking further ahead, it's great preparation for a Store Management role or a leadership challenge across the Sainsbury's family.
