Join our snack-loving team
We’re looking for a Weekend Hygiene Operative 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

As a Weekend Hygiene Operative, you’ll help us keep our site running safely, smoothly and to the highest standards. You’ll carry out scheduled deep cleaning, support plant start-up and shutdown processes, and maintain a spotless, safe working environment for your colleagues. You’ll work closely with the Hygiene Manager and wider team to make sure our production areas meet strict food safety and quality requirements. This is a hands-on role where you’ll use your initiative, follow clear processes and take pride in delivering work that makes a real difference.

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

  • 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?

  • Deliver high standards of hygiene across production areas, carrying out industrial cleaning of equipment and lines

  • Complete scheduled cleaning tasks, following instructions from the Hygiene Management team

  • Support safe and efficient plant start-up, reporting any damage, vandalism or signs of pests

  • Follow all procedures and complete accurate paperwork, including SOPs and hygiene documentation

  • Promote a strong safety and environmental culture, reporting incidents, concerns and near misses

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 working in a hygiene, cleaning or manufacturing environment (helpful but not essential)

  • The ability to organise and prioritise work in a busy environment

  • Strong attention to detail and pride in delivering high standards

  • Confidence working as part of a team and using your own initiative

  • Willingness to train in equipment use, chemical handling, working at height and plant strip-down and rebuild

  • The ability to work in factory conditions, including at height
