Join our snack-loving team
We’re looking for a Team Captain to join us at KP Snacks. If you’re ready to bring your ideas to the table, grow your skills and be part of a team that values what makes you, you – this could be your next big move.

About the role
Team Captains play a key role in coordinating the daily routines of Operators within the line structure. You’ll spend around 20% of your time supporting the shift and the rest working as a Team Member or Equipment Owner. You’ll be the go-to person on shift – someone who brings positivity, encourages others and helps the team stay on track. This is a development opportunity, not a vacancy, and may be your first experience leading a shift.

What’s in it for you?
We believe in rewarding our colleagues and helping them thrive. Here’s a flavour of what we offer:

Annual salary of £30,000

Comprehensive healthcare support – including Medicash Health Cash Plan, Digital GP, Best Doctors second opinion service and specialist cancer care

KP Pension Plan – contribution matching up to 7% of your salary

25 days holiday, plus the option to buy more

KP4ME – our online platform for benefits, discounts, wellbeing tools and more

What will you be doing?

Coordinating Operators on shift, including planning, allocation and cover for absences

Leading shift handovers and escalating issues to the Line Lead or other support roles

Coaching the team on RTT DMS tools including CLs, CILs, RCO and FPQ

Supporting urgent maintenance requests and problem-solving using IPS

Acting as the point person for safety, hygiene and compliance issues on shift

Who are we?
We’re KP Snacks, part of the Intersnack family. Across more than 30 countries, over 15,000 of us work together to make the snacks people love – from Hula Hoops to McCoy’s. In the UK, we’re a team of around 2,400 colleagues, based across seven sites and our Slough HQ. We’re proud of our close-knit culture, where we speak up, celebrate differences and push boundaries together.

We’re committed to inclusion
We’re building a workplace where everyone belongs. If you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you – your unique perspective could be just what we need. And if there’s anything we can do to make the process easier for you, just let us know.

We’d love to hear from you if you can bring:

Experience in some team leader capacity, ideally within a production environment

A positive attitude and willingness to support others

Strong communication and problem-solving skills

Ability to follow plans and work with data

Enthusiasm for learning and taking personal responsibility
