Job Description

At Hilltop Honey, we're a team of honey heads who care deeply about what we make and how we make it. Our production teams play a central role in delivering safe, high-quality products to our customers, and we're now looking for capable and people-focused Shift Supervisors to lead production activity during their shifts.

What you'll do:

Based at our Newtown site and reporting to the Production Manager, you'll lead and coordinate the production team on shift to ensure food is manufactured safely, compliantly, and in line with the production plan. You'll allocate labour, manage shift priorities, and respond quickly to issues that arise during production to keep output on track while maintaining quality and safety standards. You'll oversee day-to-day operations on the shop floor, complete effective shift handovers, and ensure all required checks and records are completed accurately.

A key part of the role involves supervising, supporting, and motivating production team members, including operators and line setters. You'll provide clear direction throughout the shift, address performance or conduct concerns when they arise, and support on-the-job training to help individuals build their skills. You'll also promote good standards of attendance, behaviour, and teamwork, setting a positive example at all times.

What we're looking for:

These roles would suit people with experience in a food manufacturing or similar production environment who enjoy leading others and taking responsibility for a shift. You'll have a solid understanding of food safety, quality, and health and safety requirements, and feel comfortable making decisions in a fast-paced setting. Strong communication skills are essential, along with a fair and consistent approach to managing people. We're looking for individuals who are dependable, organised, and keen to support their team while continuing to develop their supervisory skills.

What we offer:

Life in the hive comes with plenty of sweetness. You'll join a Real Living Wage Employer, take part in company events that keep the buzz going throughout the year, and benefit from enhanced family leave. There's free parking on site, cycle to work and electric vehicle salary sacrifice schemes, an employee referral scheme, a day each year to support your local community, a strong pension contribution, and access to a BUPA Cash Plan and Life Insurance. If you enjoy leading teams and taking pride in running a successful production shift, we'd be pleased to hear from you.

Come and join the hive and help keep Hilltop Honey moving.
