Do you come from a Quality or Technical background in the Food Manufacturing sector and want to improve your quality of life by joining a friendly, relaxed business in a systems-focused role that offers hybrid working?

This employee-owned business has been supplying premium condiments, bakery & confectionery products to a number of major retailers and other food manufacturers for over a decade. They operate a BRC AA+ accredited facility that combines traditional craftsmanship with manufacturing excellence.

In this role you'll work closely with the site's Quality Manager, taking ownership of the Quality Management System & ensuring documentation, processes and controls remain audit-ready and compliant.
