Overview

The Role and Team

We are seeking a dedicated Food Runner to join our 'Meals' team, responsible for ensuring that production lines are consistently stocked with necessary materials to prevent any interruptions. Each Runner plays a crucial role in supplying their designated line, which typically produces a substantial volume of meals during each shift. Upon completion of a production run, the Runner will collaborate with the team during line changeovers.

About Us

We are a leading food producer catering to the health and social care sector, delivering nutritious and sustainable meals for individuals at home or in care facilities. We also operate Wiltshire Farm Foods, the UK's premier home-delivery service for ready-made meals.

Our extensive range of well-presented, nutritious meals is designed to meet diverse tastes and dietary requirements, making a meaningful impact on the lives of elderly and vulnerable individuals in care.

We take pride in being a Living Wage employer and a member of the Ethical Trading Initiative, supporting British food and farming while implementing effective waste reduction and resource efficiency programs across our operations.

In addition to your salary, we offer a comprehensive training program, 25 days of annual leave, the option to purchase additional leave, retail discounts, free parking, a subsidized staff restaurant, a festive turkey (or voucher) during the holiday season, and much more.
