Job description
PRODUCTION OPERATIVES – SPALDING
£13.00 per hour | Monday to Friday | 4 weeks guaranteed work
FREE TRANSPORT FROM PETERBOROUGH & BOSTON
We are looking for 10–20 reliable Production Operatives to start ASAP from Monday 5th October at a busy beef and pork processing / abattoir site in Spalding.
This is not a light packing role, so please read the details properly before applying.
The Role
You will be working within a busy meat processing environment, supporting different areas of production depending on where you are needed.
What You'll Be Doing
Trimming meat using knives
Picking and packing meat products
End-of-line packing
Handling and packing large joints of meat
Lifting products weighing approximately 10–15kg
Placing packed meat onto trays
Working at pace as part of a production team
Following strict hygiene, food safety and health & safety procedures
Working within an abattoir / slaughterhouse environment
Hours & Pay
Monday to Friday
Start time: 5:45am
Finish: approximately 3:00pm–5:00pm, depending on production
£13.00 per hour
Overtime paid at the same flat hourly rate.
You will have a guaranteed weekly shift for approximately 4 weeks.
Free Transport
We are providing FREE transport to and from the site from:
Peterborough
Boston
So you do not need your own vehicle if you can get to one of the agreed collection points.
What You’ll Need
You must be comfortable working with raw meat
You must be comfortable working within an abattoir / slaughterhouse
You need to be physically fit and able to regularly handle 10–15kg
Reliability is essential — these are guaranteed shifts and we need people who will turn up
You must be comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment
Previous food production, meat processing, warehouse or factory experience would be useful, but attitude and reliability are just as important
Induction
A full onsite induction will take place before starting work and will last approximately 5–7 hours.
What You Might Not Like
We would rather be honest than dress the job up.
This is a physically demanding role, you will be working with raw meat and you will be based in an operational slaughterhouse environment.
If that isn't for you, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that — but this probably won't be the right job.
If you're comfortable with the environment, happy with physical work and want Monday-to-Friday hours, guaranteed shifts and free transport, we want to hear from you.
What To Do Next
We are recruiting 10–20 people immediately, so please apply now or contact Quest Employment Peterborough for more information.
STARTING MONDAY 5TH OCTOBER – DON'T HANG AROUND.
