About the Company:

Avara Foods is one of the UK’s biggest food businesses. It’s a place where great people produce great food, for some of the country’s biggest supermarkets and most popular restaurants.

Formed in 2018, Avara Foods is a joint venture between Cargill’s fresh chicken business in the UK and Faccenda’s fresh chicken, turkey and duck business. Avara Foods is the 3rd biggest poultry supplier in the UK. The joint venture brings together two businesses with strong reputations for integrity, high standards and building long-term partnerships with customers, growers and suppliers.

What makes Avara Foods different is the people that work there. Over 6,000 individuals work as a team, putting pride and passion into everything they do: from the farm to the customer’s door. It’s not what we do, but how we do it.

About the Role:

Over three years you will spend time working on several different assignments, across a broad range of departments, each offering real responsibility from day one.

You’ll be joining the Production department and will rotate around the business and different sites to gain maximum exposure to the business. The primary objective in Production is to maintain an effective and efficient process in order to provide quality fresh and convenient products for timely dispatch to our customers.

• Updating forecasts and plans and communicating them articulately
• Managing the change in production based on breakdowns or delayed deliveries
• Getting new plans re-worked and implemented

We control our whole supply chain from our local British farms, through advanced manufacturing plants to the final product on the shelf. This ensures that customers receive a safe, secure product and that delivery comes via an excellent service from a transparent and integrated supply chain. You’ll play an important part in this process by working on varied projects focusing on the production processes, quality control, health and safety and team management.

Requirements:
