Overview
Hygiene Manager – Food Manufacturing
South Wales – Multi-site
£44,000 – £50,000 + flexible working
Day-based role | Senior Management Level
Are you an experienced hygiene professional looking for your next challenge—without the night shifts?
We're working with a well-established food manufacturer with two sites in South Wales who are looking for a hands-on Hygiene Manager to join their senior team. This is a multi-site role where you'll take the lead on all hygiene operations across both factories. You'll be joining a company that truly values high standards but keeps things practical and down-to-earth.
What’s in it for you?
* Day shifts only – enjoy your evenings again
* Flexible start/finish times to suit your life
* Senior leadership role – sit alongside the technical managers on the site leadership team
* Autonomy – you'll shape how hygiene is run and bring your ideas to life
* Small, tight-knit team – no red tape, and real support from the technical team
* Stability – long-standing business with solid processes and good people
The Role
This is a practical, on-the-floor hygiene leadership role. You’ll manage a small team of hygiene supervisors, operatives, and cleaners across both sites. Your focus will be on:
* Running the hygiene function day-to-day
* Making sure schedules are followed
* Overseeing pest control, laundry, chemicals, and cleaning routines
* Managing budget areas related to hygiene
* Working closely with Technical and Ops to ensure the site is audit-ready
* Being present, visible, and approachable for the team
What We're Looking For
* Experience in hygiene within food manufacturing is essential
* You might be in a hygiene supervisor or coordinator role now, ready to step up
* You don’t need a degree—just the confidence, drive, and a good understanding of hygiene best practices
* Someone who can communicate well, work across teams, and take ownership
* Must have a driving license and car – you'll be working across two nearby sites
* Based within reasonable commuting distance of South Wales
