Arla Foods: Production Operative - Settle Dairy Opportunity

Are you looking to join a global leader in the dairy industry and contribute to the production of high-quality, popular products? Arla Foods' Settle Dairy is seeking dedicated individuals to join their team as Production Operatives. This role offers a unique opportunity to be part of a dynamic manufacturing environment, focusing on the production of their well-loved Lacto-Free range.

Key Advantages for Aspiring Candidates:

  • Exceptional Work-Life Balance: The role operates on a rotating continental 12-hour shift pattern. A significant benefit of this pattern is the inclusion of 8 consecutive days off within a 4-week cycle, offering ample time for rest, personal pursuits, and family.
  • Comprehensive Training and Development: While prior experience in a similar environment or with food safety regulations is beneficial, it is not essential. Arla Foods provides all necessary training and support during your induction period, ensuring you are well-equipped for the role and ready to contribute effectively. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to enter the food manufacturing sector or develop their skills.
  • Be Part of a Quality-Driven Organization: Arla Foods is committed to producing top-quality products. As a Production Operative, you will directly contribute to this by monitoring production lines, performing quality inspections, and ensuring key targets are met. If you are serious about quality and ready to work hard to achieve it, this role aligns perfectly with your aspirations.
  • Career Growth and Stability: Arla Foods is a global cooperative with a strong focus on employee growth and development. While this specific role is at the Settle Dairy, which is scheduled for site closure in the second half of 2027, the company is committed to supporting its colleagues. They are offering an enhanced reward and support package, including pro-rata retention and redundancy payments, relocation support for those staying with Arla, and outplacement support for those moving on. This demonstrates Arla's commitment to its people during a transition period.
  • Attractive Benefits Package: Beyond the core role, candidates can look forward to a competitive salary, a valuable discount at the on-site staff shop featuring a wide range of Arla products, an employer pension contribution matched up to 6%, free on-site parking, and an on-site canteen. A festive Christmas cheese hamper is also a delightful perk!

Key Considerations for Your Career Path:

  • Shift Work: The role requires flexibility and adaptability to a rotating 12-hour continental shift pattern, which includes both day and night shifts. Candidates should be comfortable with this schedule.
  • Commitment to Quality and Safety: Success in this role hinges on a strong commitment to maintaining high product quality and adhering to safety procedures. This includes performing quality checks, reporting safety issues, and undertaking specified cleaning tasks.
  • Teamwork and Initiative: While the ability to work independently is valued, being a motivated team player is crucial. Collaboration and a willingness to contribute to the collective goals of the production line are essential.
  • Site Closure Transition: It is important for candidates to be aware of the Settle Dairy site closure in the second half of 2027. The company's proactive approach to offering comprehensive support packages is a significant advantage, but candidates should consider their long-term career plans and how this transition might factor into them.

This Production Operative role at Arla Foods Settle Dairy presents a fantastic opportunity for individuals seeking a role with excellent work-life balance, comprehensive training, and a commitment to quality within a reputable global organization. The supportive approach to the upcoming site transition further underscores Arla's dedication to its employees.
