£24,654 - £31,217 a year
Melton, England

About The Role

Join the Samworth Brothers Team and become part of our dynamic family!

At Samworth Brothers, we genuinely care about our colleagues and strive to create an engaging environment that values your unique contributions. We are committed to your success and offer a range of exceptional benefits that we believe supports your life and personal aspirations: -

  • Enhanced pension scheme
  • Private health scheme
  • Employee discount scheme
  • Experience annual pay reviews
  • Profit related pay
  • Unlock your potential through training and growth opportunities
The Opportunity

In this role as Continuous Improvement Support you will be central to driving improvement across our food manufacturing operation. You’ll work closely with managers and teams, both on the shop floor and in the office, to deliver practical CI initiatives, coach individuals at all levels, and help embed a culture of operational excellence.

We're looking for someone who can build strong relationships quickly, has a natural aptitude for teaching, and gains real satisfaction from supporting others to perform at their best. You’ll need patience, persistence, and charisma—because not everyone will be ready to listen right away. This role isn’t about sitting behind a desk. It's hands-on, people-focused, and will suit someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck in.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Support and coach individuals across departments to adopt new ways of working and continuously improve performance.
  • Deliver CI actions in line with our Manufacturing Excellence strategy, with a balance of office-based planning and shop floor execution.
  • Gather and analyse data to inform improvement decisions and track progress.
  • Apply CI tools and techniques such as 5S, SMED, and problem-solving frameworks.
The Ideal Candidate

We believe that success is built upon collaboration and diverse perspectives. At Samworth Brothers, we welcome candidates who are passionate about working together to achieve greatness. As a valued member of our team, you will bring the following skills and experience: -
  • Experience in a food manufacturing environment (chilled food preferred) and working knowledge of GMP.
  • A confident and engaging communicator who can inspire, coach, and support colleagues across all levels.
  • Experience with Lean and CI principles (Yellow Belt or equivalent preferred).
  • Skilled in Microsoft Office and confident analysing and presenting data.
  • A strong sense of ownership, resilience, and passion for continuous improvement.
We also want you to thrive in an engaging and inclusive work culture where you will have the opportunity to take on personal accountability and take pride in your work. We encourage positive communication, and the building of strong collaborative relationships is essential to every role.

Join us at Samworth Brothers, where you'll be more than just a team member – you'll be an integral part of our thriving family. Apply today and embark on an exciting journey with us!
