Production Operatives AM

Job Introduction

Are you looking for secure work with guaranteed hours, excellent benefits, development opportunities and the chance to build a long-term career with one of the area’s largest employers?

If the answer is YES, a General Operative position at 2 Sisters Food Group in Flixton could be for you.

All new starters will initially join us through our recruitment agency partner, Mach Recruitment, on a four-week temporary-to-permanent arrangement.

During your first four weeks, you’ll receive full training and support while your suitability for permanent employment is assessed. This will be based on your attendance, conduct and work performance. The expectations will be clearly explained during the recruitment process and at the start of your assignment.

Once you’ve successfully completed the four-week period and met the required standards, you’ll transfer to a permanent contract directly with 2 Sisters Food Group.

As a General Operative, you’ll work within one of our busy production departments handling and preparing chicken products.

Your duties may include:

• Following all Health and Safety requirements.
• Working at a consistent pace to meet production targets.
• Completing quality checks and following standard operating procedures.

• Supporting your colleagues and working as part of a team.

Don’t worry if you haven’t worked in food production before. Full training will be provided, and you’ll be given time and support to learn the role.
