Job Introduction

We're currently expanding our Assembly Day Shift Team and are looking for great people to join us.

Our Assembly Team play a crucial role in bringing our dishes together so they start to look like the meals you know and love. With all components prepared and cooked, you'll assemble each dish with care - from layering our lasagnes to adding sauces and finishing touches to our much loved mac and cheese. It's hands on work where pride, consistency and attention to detail really matter.

You'll work 40 hours across 4 days, giving you 3 days off every week - more time to rest, recharge and enjoy life outside of work.

• Monday - Thursday: 6am - 4pm

Join a business where people come first. We've been named one of the UK's best Workplaces for five consecutive years, and we're also recognised among the UK's Best Workplaces for Development and for Women.

Main Responsibilities

As an Assembly Team Member, you will:

• Accurately weigh portions to be added to each dish
• Add and arrange dish components in line with specifications
• Replenish dish trays to support production flow
• Maintain high hygiene standards and a clean, tidy workspace
• Complete food preparation records and logs
• Carry out quality checks to ensure Bigham's standards are met
• Complete effective and accurate shift handovers
• Flag any equipment issues within your area
• Work as an integral part of the team to deliver the daily production plan

The Ideal Candidate

At Bigham's, our values guide how we work every day. We're looking for people who:

• Bring extraordinary - you take pride in your work, have a strong eye for detail and are committed to delivering high quality dishes
• Bring people together - you work well as part of a team, support those around you and communicate clearly
• Bring real care & attention - you follow processes carefully and maintain high food safety, hygiene and quality standards

You'll also need:

• A willingness to work with chilled and frozen products
• A positive and reliable approach to work
• A desire to develop your skills and grow as part of the Bigham's team

This role is physically active and will require you spend most of your shift on your feet.

Experience of working in a food handling or production environment would be beneficial, but isn't essential - full food safety and quality training will be provided.
