Mill Cleaner
ForFarmers
Date: 1 day ago
City: Newcastle under Lyme, England
Contract type: Full time
Job Title: Mill Cleaner
Location: Newcastle Under Lyme
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full-time
Reporting to: Production Manager
Your role
As a Mill Cleaner, you will be responsible for cleaning areas of the feed mill to meet strict feed safety standards. The role itself requires a good level of attention to detail and good communication skills while working safely and recording your work. Whilst Mill Cleaning is the core role, from time to time we may also require other skills such as degreasing equipment and painting. We are committed to continuously improving standards so full training will be provided. Once you are up to speed, as required, you will be trained to provide absence cover for milling production.
Your Responsibilities
Essential:
Do you ever stop to wonder where your Sunday morning poached egg came from? Or the milk in your cafè latte? Or what about the sausage and bacon served with full English? It will come as no surprise to you that the animals which produce these products need to eat themselves too. And that’s where ForFarmers comes into the equation.
ForFarmers produces feed for cattle, pigs and poultry in both conventional and organic livestock farming. And that probably sounds a great deal simpler than it actually is. Make no mistake: an awful lot of knowledge, research and innovation has gone into one of those seemingly simple-looking chunks of animal feed. And these are the kind of things we, as a company, invest a great deal in.
What are the benefits of working for ForFarmers UK?
We value diversity in our workplace and welcome enquiries from everyone. To apply for this position please see our website Vacancies | Working at ForFarmers.
Candidates wishing to apply who would require sponsorship can determine the likelihood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship for the role by assessing their circumstances against the relevant criteria on the Gov.UK website.
Please make us aware if your need any reasonable adjustments to participate in this process.
We encourage you to submit your application as early as possible and not wait until the published closing date as this can vary.
