The Role
Our Operatives are (quite literally) the bread and butter of Geary’s. You’re responsible for ensuring the delicious bread we produce, and package is of the best possible quality, that adds a spark of joy to people’s daily lives. Your main responsibilities include:
* Manually folding packaging
* Manually labelling product

* Following Good Manufacturing Practice to keep Finishing area tidy and safe
* Quality control – following SOPs to ensure product meets our quality standards
* Meeting all Health and Safety responsibilities
* Supporting Production, Loading and Hygiene departments when necessary
You will be moving around a busy bakery, carrying out manual and non-manual tasks, which may be physically demanding at times.
The role is based on a 5/7 or 4/7 working pattern. As we are operational 24/7, this may include working weekends. Our day shift work from 7am to 7pm, and night shift from 7pm to 7am.
About Us
At Geary’s, we’re on a crusade to make proper bread more accessible to more people. We’re passionate about re-imaging the way Great Britain thinks about their everyday loaf. This passion is at the heart of everything we do, and have done, since 1906.
We are ‘born and bread’ in Leicestershire and proud of our long-standing heritage. Today, we operate from two sites on a 24/7 operation. We’re made up of over 200 people: a friendly, diverse, and outgoing team, passionate about making a difference to the bakery industry.
We provide full training and support, and the chance to learn new skills from some of the best master bakers in the country. Our brilliant benefits include free delicious bread, a Cycle to Work scheme and an opportunity to win a £10k holiday!
About You
