* Who we are: Loving Foods is an organic, fermented food and drink manufacturer that require someone to help us as we continue to grow. This is a physical, hands-on role, getting involved in most areas of the operation, and working within a small, friendly kitchen team.
* What we do: This is a production kitchen and warehouse operation. It's not a high-pressure environment, there are no customers to answer to and no screaming chefs. The team do work hard, but it's generally a nice, relaxed place to work. Every day we produce new product, pack/bottle it and pick/pack orders.
* What you'll do: There are a variety of different tasks on different days to keep things interesting, including washing, chopping and prepping vegetables; operating machinery; jarring; capping; bottling; labelling; packaging; cleaning and completing paperwork. In the warehouse, it's processing paperwork, picking stock, packing and dispatching. We are looking for someone who, like the rest of our team, is capable of working in both areas. The role will start as a Kitchen Production Assistant, but we are looking for someone to take on responsibility as the Kitchen Production Manager, overseeing the team, ensuring health & safety/hygiene standards are maintained, making sure that recipes are followed, and that our products are produced to a high standard.
* What you need: Hygiene and cleanliness is absolutely critical in our work environment, so an understanding of good working practices is very important. The rest we can teach you. Some kitchen experience is essential.
* Where we are: We are operating from our new unit on Lyntown Trading Estate in Eccles.
* What the hours are: No late nights. No weekends: We are looking for someone to work five days a week, between Monday-Friday, for 35-40 hours, with some flexibility. We start at 07:30 and finish around 15:30 each day.
* What we need: A physically fit, energetic, friendly, hard-working individual, who is motivated, committed, quick to learn and works well in a small team.
* What we pay: We pay all permanent staff a minimum of £13.00 per hour, with regular salary reviews. In addition, we offer a variety of discounts, free products, Cycle to Work scheme, employee wellbeing programme and store discounts. There will be an uplift in salary for anyone taking on the role of Kitchen Manager.
* Anything else?: A cover letter is essential. Due to the volume of applications that we receive, we are not able to consider or review any applications without a cover letter. Please let us know why you'd like to work with us and why you think you would be a good fit.
