Quick overview
Job description
2 Sisters Food Group is one of the UK’s leading food manufacturing businesses. More than 15,000 colleagues from 36 nationalities help us produce a huge range of high-quality food, from poultry and pizza to pies, ready meals and soups.
From humble beginnings in the early 1990s, we’ve grown to become one of Europe’s leading food manufacturers. We have a strong UK presence across poultry, chilled and bakery categories and are home to well-known brands including Holland’s Pies.
Our customers include Aldi, Asda, Co-op, KFC, Lidl, Marks & Spencer, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose.
We currently have a permanent, full-time opportunity for a Despatch Operative to join our PM team at our Flixton site near Bungay.
Weekly pay: £572.50
Working hours: 6:00pm–4:30am
As a Despatch Operative, you will help ensure finished products are checked, recorded and prepared correctly before leaving the site. You will work closely with our warehouse, production and transport teams to maintain high standards of accuracy, quality, safety and customer service.
Your key responsibilities will include:
• Monitoring product quality throughout the despatch process.
• Carrying out and accurately recording temperature checks.
• Completing despatch paperwork and recording information clearly and accurately.
• Ensuring products are prepared and despatched in accordance with customer specifications.
• Checking orders for accuracy before they leave the site.
• Supporting compliance with relevant legal, transport and food-safety requirements.
• Communicating with warehouse, production and transport colleagues to resolve discrepancies or delays.
• Following all health and safety, food-safety, hygiene and quality procedures.
• Maintaining and helping to improve systems and processes.
• Reporting any product, documentation, temperature or quality concerns promptly.
Previous export, despatch, logistics or transport-administration experience would be advantageous, but it is not essential as training will be provided.
We are looking for candidates who:
• Have strong administration and organisational skills.
• Can complete paperwork accurately and maintain reliable records.
• Are able to manage several tasks and priorities within a fast-paced environment.
• Have excellent communication skills and a practical, hands-on approach.
• Can work effectively with warehouse, manufacturing and transport teams.
• Have good attention to detail and can identify errors or discrepancies.
• Can work independently while contributing positively to the wider team.
• Are comfortable working evening and night shifts.
• Are willing to wear the required personal protective equipment while working within warehouse and manufacturing areas.
• Have an understanding of transport, export or logistics compliance, although this is desirable rather than essential.
Previous experience within a warehouse, manufacturing, freight, food-production or transport environment would also be beneficial.
When you join 2 Sisters Food Group, you will benefit from:
• Immediate-start opportunities.
• Opportunities for overtime.
• Free on-site parking.
• Weekly pay.
• Exclusive employee discount platform offering savings of up to 60% with brands including Asda, Morrisons, Marks & Spencer and Tesco.
• Employee Assistance Programme.
• Access to confidential counselling through GroceryAid.
• A safe and supportive working environment.
• Full training to help you carry out your role safely and confidently.
• Opportunities to develop and progress within one of the UK’s leading food-manufacturing businesses.
