  • Honesty – Be open with us, we understand that sometimes your personal life takes priority, so speak to us, let us know…we can try our best to work things out together.
  • Reliability – Turn up for your allocated shifts and try your best, we don’t ask much more.
  • Flexibility – Overtime may be available/required on occasion, as will a change of duty to meet production requirements…we will never ask you to do anything you have not been trained to do.
  • Teamwork – Work with your colleagues and management, support one another and make everyone’s job easier.
  • Good Work Ethic – Its fast paced here, don’t let your colleagues down.

Additional Information



About the Scunthorpe Site

The Scunthorpe site is a whole bird processing site, we process everything, nothing goes to waste.

We have a strong multicultural workforce; you’ll hear many languages on a daily basis. But we work together, communication might not always be verbal, but we make it work as a team.

The working environment is chilled and noisy; we provide all necessary PPE but advise you wear layers to ensure you’re comfortable.

There are 2 main working environments within the factory for General Operatives :

  • Cutting - involves cutting the bird into set portions, such as breast meat, wings and thigh fillets, which will then be packed into the appropriate size packaging. Some cutting is completed by machines, some by hand. You will be trained to undertake manual cutting/filleting and salary premiums are available for those who excel.
  • Whole Bird - involves dealing with the unportioned birds, seasoning and packing the whole chicken, loading the product into baskets that will then be stacked onto pallets.

What’s in it for you?

Other than an hourly rate well above NMW (our minimum rate is £13.00), we also pride ourselves on developing staff potential, with many opportunities for in house training along with externally supplied

qualifications

and support, to help drive your career forward.

Other benefits include:

  • A subsidised company bus service (7 pickup locations across Ashby & Scunthorpe).
  • Refer a friend scheme (£100).
  • Subsidised and recently upgraded canteen (hot meals from £1.60).
  • Free onsite parking.
  • Staff chicken sales at a heavily discounted price.
  • Seasonal events and family fun days.
  • Great discounts from a number of different sources (up to 50% off), details in the link .
