Job Description

Salary: £28,288.10 per year (£15.06 per hour)
Shifts: Monday–Friday, 22:00–06:00

At our York site – home of Poppets and XXX Mints – we produce some of the UK’s most recognisable confectionery. Every role is key to keeping production on track and ensuring every product meets our high quality standards.

As a Night Production Operative, you’ll work with our machinery and production processes to keep everything running efficiently overnight. You’ll set up equipment, monitor performance, and make adjustments where needed. This is a hands-on role, so you’ll be involved in troubleshooting and completing routine checks to make sure production and quality targets are met.

Our application process
We use Arctic Shores to assess your strengths — no CV needed. This means we’re looking at what you can do and how you work, not just what’s on paper. If you’re motivated, willing to learn, and want to join a supportive night team, we’d like to hear from you.

Qualifications

We need people who can work well as part of a team, stay focused in a busy environment, and keep things moving through the night. Because the role is night-based, living locally or having your own transport is helpful. Previous factory experience is an advantage, but not essential — we hire for potential and will provide full training.
