Job Description
Staffing Agency is currently seeking reliable and hard-working Food Production Operatives for an immediate start within the M20 postcode area. Our client is a well-established and reputable food manufacturing facility known for producing high-quality products for major UK retailers. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic production environment where quality and efficiency are paramount. The role is perfect for individuals who thrive in a fast-paced setting and are looking for stable, ongoing work with the potential to secure a permanent position. By applying through Staffing Agency, you benefit from our direct relationship with the employer, ensuring a smooth application process and dedicated support from our local consultants.
As a Food Production Operative, you will be an integral part of the production line, contributing to the creation of food products from raw ingredients to finished, packaged goods. The M20 facility is modern and adheres to the highest standards of food safety and hygiene, including BRC certification. You will be working as part of a supportive team where collaboration is key to meeting daily production targets. This role is not just a job; it’s a gateway to the food manufacturing sector. Whether you have prior experience in food production or are looking to transition from a similar Production Line Worker role, we provide the training and guidance needed to succeed. Our agency specialises in connecting talent with opportunity, much like we do for factory and industrial roles across London.
Key Responsibilities
- Operating machinery and equipment on the food production line, including mixers, fillers, sealers, and packaging machines, following strict safety and operational procedures.
- Performing manual handling tasks such as lifting, stacking, and moving raw materials, ingredients, and finished products within the production area, ensuring efficient workflow.
- Conducting quality control checks at various stages of production to ensure products meet specified weight, size, appearance, and packaging standards before they leave the line.
- Maintaining exceptional standards of hygiene and cleanliness in your work area, adhering to all company and legal Food Safety protocols, including regular hand washing and use of PPE.
- Assisting with basic machine maintenance, cleaning, and sanitation procedures at the start and end of each shift, and reporting any equipment faults or safety concerns to the line supervisor immediately.
What We're Looking For
- Previous experience as a Food Production Operative, Production Line Worker, or in a similar manual role within a factory, warehouse, or manufacturing environment is highly advantageous.
- A strong work ethic, reliability, and the ability to work effectively as part of a team to meet daily production targets and deadlines.
- A good understanding of, and commitment to, health & safety and food hygiene standards. A basic Food Hygiene certificate is beneficial but not essential as training can be provided.
- Physical fitness and stamina for a role that involves standing for long periods, lifting (within safe manual handling guidelines), and working in a temperature-controlled environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Food Production Operative do in M20?
A Food Production Operative in M20 works on the assembly lines of food manufacturing facilities. Daily tasks include operating machinery, handling ingredients, assembling or packing food products, conducting quality checks, and maintaining strict hygiene standards. The role is hands-on, fast-paced, and crucial to producing the food we find on supermarket shelves. It's similar to the core duties found in many of our factory and production roles across the UK.
Do I need experience to apply for this role?
While previous experience as a Food Production Operative or Production Line Worker is preferred, it is not always essential. We value a strong work ethic, reliability, and a willingness to learn above all. For candidates new to the sector, we provide role-specific inductions and can often facilitate basic Food Safety training. We also list no-experience roles across various industries if you're looking to start your career.
What are the typical shift patterns for Food Production jobs in M20?
Shifts can vary but often include early mornings (6am starts), late afternoons, and night shifts. Many facilities operate 24/7, so flexibility is a huge advantage. Shift patterns may be rotating or fixed, and often include weekend work. Premium rates are frequently paid for night and weekend shifts. We discuss all shift details transparently during the registration process to find a pattern that suits your availability.
Is there a chance this temporary role could become permanent?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our temporary Food Production Operative placements are"temp-to-perm". This means the employer uses the temporary period to assess your fit within their team and operation. If you perform well, show a great attitude, and are reliable, there is a strong likelihood of being offered a permanent contract. We specialise in creating these career pathways, much like we do in the hospitality and catering sector.
How quickly can I start after applying?
For roles marked"Immediate Start", the process can be very swift. Once you apply, a consultant will call you to discuss your details and availability. If it's a good match, we can often arrange a registration interview the same or next day, and get you started on-site within 24-48 hours, subject to completing necessary paperwork. We pride ourselves on speed, a service highlighted in our resources for securing immediate start jobs.
What should I wear for a Food Production Operative interview or shift?
For interviews, smart-casual attire is fine. For your first day on shift, you will typically be required to wear safety shoes (steel-toe caps are often provided or can be purchased) and you should wear comfortable, dark clothing without loose fittings. The employer will supply all necessary PPE such as hairnets, beard snoods, gloves, and protective coats. Hygiene is critical, so no jewellery or false nails are permitted on the production floor.
