General Operative

As a General Operative with 2 Sisters Food Group, you will be handling raw chicken. We understand that working with raw chicken is not for everyone, but if you've ever handled raw chicken at home, then there's really not much difference…we just handle a whole lot more! As a General Operative you'll be expected to:

• Adhere to strict food hygiene practices, regularly cleaning your hands.
• Follow Health and Safety guidelines, looking after yourself and your colleagues.
• Work at a consistent rate to ensure that daily production targets are met. (don't worry, we'll give you time to get up to speed)
• Follow set standard operating procedures.
• Be a part of the
TEAM., The Scunthorpe site is a whole bird processing site, we process everything, nothing goes to waste. We have a strong multicultural workforce; you'll hear many languages on a daily basis. But we work together, communication might not always be verbal, but we make it work as a team. The working environment is chilled and noisy; we provide all necessary PPE but advise you wear layers to ensure you're comfortable. There are 2 main working environments within the factory for General Operatives:
• Cutting - involves cutting the bird into set portions, such as breast meat, wings and thigh fillets, which will then be packed into the appropriate size packaging. Some cutting is completed by machines, some by hand. You will be trained to undertake manual cutting/filleting and salary premiums are available for those who excel.
• Whole Bird - involves dealing with the unportioned birds, seasoning and packing the whole chicken, loading the product into baskets that will then be stacked onto pallets.
Attendance expectations will be applied reasonably and in accordance with our obligations under the Equality Act 2010. Any absences will be considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into account individual circumstances. Where you meet the required standards for attendance, conduct, and performance over the full 4-week period, you will be offered a permanent position with 2 Sisters Food Group.

If you have experience within food production that's great, but what we are really looking for is,
• Honesty - Be open with us, we understand that sometimes your personal life takes priority, so speak to us, let us know…we can try our best to work things out together.
