Experienced Machine Operator

Start time is between 4am and 6am, so candidate must ensure they can get to the factory on time.

Monday to Friday, roughly 8 and a half hour shifts, we only operate one shift so it’s a job on finish, all roles are the same.

The week before our holiday/closures, we pull shifts forward one day, Sunday to Thursday, and we always return from Christmas break on 3rd of January, so there is around 6 Sundays per year that staff may be required to work.

Set holidays, previously booked holidays will be honoured and given as unpaid leave as their holiday entitlement is used up during our closures.

Holidays: 1 week in April, 2 weeks in July, 1 week in October and 7 to 10 days at Christmas depending on when Christmas lands.

Possibility holidays may change in future, but these are how they will be for now.
