The role
This role involves the initial stage of biscuit production, which is crucial. It requires physical effort, teamwork, and clear communication.

Key accountabilities
* Mixer: Set up the mixer according to the recipe sheet, control quality for consistency and color, and manually add chemical ingredients ('Add Ons') such as soda or salt, prepared separately by the Chemical Maker.
* Chemical Mixer: Prepare chemical mixes by following instructions, using shovels and weighing machines to ensure correct quantities, and bring the mixture to the main mixer.
* Servicer: Transport bulk ingredients from the warehouse to the production area using pallet trucks, check stock levels, and ensure timely supply.
Skills & experience
* Applicants must be 18 or older.
* Ability to demonstrate full right to work in the UK (students must demonstrate this, as paid induction requires 40 hours of training).
* Numerate, literate, and able to communicate effectively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
