Production Supervisor

Production Supervisor

4 on / 4 off shifts
(For supervisors who like proper ownership — and proper time off)

If you’re the kind of supervisor who leads from the front, knows their KPIs and knows their people — keep reading.

This is a hands-on Production Supervisor role in a fast-moving FMCG environment, working a 4 on / 4 off shift pattern (yes, real rest days — not “sort-of” days off). You’ll be trusted to run your shift properly: safe, efficient, audit-ready and hitting plan.

No clipboard-only supervisors here. You’ll be on the floor, visible, involved and making decisions that matter.

What you’ll actually be doing

• Owning your 4 on / 4 off shift — safety, quality, food standards, performance, the lot

• Delivering the production plan efficiently and without cutting corners

• Leading and developing a small team of Line Leaders (plus agency staff when required)

• Driving KPIs, investigating issues and putting fixes in place — not just reporting them

• Keeping everything audit-ready: GMP, hygiene, labelling, paperwork

• Championing food safety, H&S and quality — every shift, every time

• Stepping up for the Production Manager when needed

What you’ll need to bring

Let’s not overcomplicate it:

• Experience supervising in FMCG / food production

• Food Safety Level 2, H&S Level 2, COSHH Level 2

• Confident people management skills — coaching, feedback, and the tougher conversations

• Ability to stay calm and organised on a busy 4 on / 4 off rota

• Strong communication skills with a diverse workforce

• Computer-literate (Outlook, Word, Excel)

• Full right to work in the UK

First aid certification or strong product knowledge? Nice to have, not essential.

The type of person who thrives here

• Enjoys the rhythm of 4 on / 4 off shifts

• Leads by example — PPE on, standards high

• Fair, firm and approachable

• Detail-focused but practical

• Motivates people without micromanaging

What you might not love

Let’s be straight:

• It’s fast-paced

• Standards are non-negotiable

• You’re accountable for your shift

• You can’t hide behind emails

If you want easy days and minimal responsibility, this isn’t it.
