Salary: £18 per hour
Contract: Permanent

At Heler Foods, our people are part of our extended Heler Family, the driving force behind everything we do. From crafting award-winning cheeses to delivering service that sets new standards, we work together to shape the future of food.

Every colleague has a voice here, and every step you take helps move us forward.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We’re looking for an experienced and people-focused Production Supervisor to join our team at Lymn Bank Farm in Lincolnshire.

This is more than a job. It’s an opportunity to lead a production team within a fast-paced food manufacturing environment, making sure we deliver safely, efficiently and to the high-quality standards our customers expect.

In this role, you will:

• Lead and coordinate day-to-day production activities, ensuring production plans are delivered safely and on time.
• Support, coach and develop your team, managing performance, attendance and training.
• Maintain high standards of product quality, food safety and health and safety.
• Monitor production performance, labour efficiency, downtime, waste and quality, identifying opportunities to improve.
• Work closely with Quality, Engineering, Maintenance, Warehouse and Planning teams to resolve issues and keep production running effectively.
• Coordinate with Maintenance to minimise equipment downtime and production disruption.
• Complete accurate daily production reports and ensure company procedures and regulatory requirements are followed.
• Support continuous improvement by challenging existing ways of working and finding practical ways to improve productivity and reduce waste.

You’ll be joining a workplace where collaboration and curiosity are encouraged. Where questioning “how it’s always been done” is part of daily life. And where discovering better ways of working is simply what we do.

ABOUT YOU

We want to work with people who are bold, ambitious and ready to shape the future, people who share our values and bring energy, ideas and commitment.

You’ll bring:

• Previous experience in a production or manufacturing environment, ideally food manufacturing.
• Experience supervising, leading or developing a production team.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to work with people at all levels.
• Good problem-solving and decision-making skills, with the ability to remain calm and make decisions under pressure.
• Strong organisation, time management and delegation skills.
• Good computer literacy and confidence working with production information and reports.
• An understanding of continuous improvement, Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma principles would be advantageous.
• A collaborative, people-focused approach with the ability to motivate and support others.
• Behaviours aligned to our values: Be Better, Be Collaborative, Be Inquisitive, Be Yourself and Take Ownership.

We help our people become the best versions of themselves, take pride in what they do and bring out the strength in others. If that excites you, you’ll fit right in here.
