- Competitive hourly rates depending on role and responsibility
- Overtime paid at time + a quarter, after contracted hours
- Clear progression pathway through Levels 1–3
- Full technical training on chemicals, equipment strip-downs, and safe working at height
- Tablet-based training platform with translation support
Your responsibilities as Hygiene Operative:
- Carry out full strip-downs, deep cleans, and reassembly of production machinery
- Clean conveyors, mincers, skinning machines, and other factory equipment
- Follow Cleaning Instruction Cards (CICs) and hygiene SOPs precisely
- Use cleaning chemicals safely in line with COSHH requirements
- Complete hygiene tasks across production areas, including elevated work zones
- Report equipment damage, hazards, or safety issues immediately
What we’re looking for in a Hygiene Operative:
- Previous hygiene or industrial cleaning experience within a regulated environment
- Working knowledge of food safety and hygiene compliance standards
- Experience handling cleaning chemicals safely within controlled processes
- Ability to follow detailed cleaning instructions and technical procedures accurately
- Understanding of health and safety standards within manufacturing environments
