Hygiene Team Leader

If you’re leading hygiene teams on nights and feel like you’re firefighting more than improving – this one’s worth a look.

 

 

I’m working with a well-established food manufacturing site that’s investing heavily in its people, equipment, and hygiene standards. They’re looking for a Hygiene Team Leader who can bring structure, consistency, and confidence to the night shift.

 

 

This isn’t just about keeping things clean. It’s about leading people, raising standards, and being trusted on the factory floor.

 

 

What you’ll be doing

  • Leading and motivating night-shift hygiene teams

  • Driving consistency and standardisation across all cleans

  • Closing gaps in hygiene practices and instruction cards

  • Working closely with Engineering and Production to improve trust and collaboration

  • Taking ownership of improvements and seeing them through

  • Supporting hygiene education across manufacturing teams

 

 

The setup

  • Nights

  • Early involvement on days for training, planning, and onboarding

  • Managing experienced teams 

 

 

Why this one’s different

  • Strong people-first culture (wellbeing, mental health support, annual events)

  • Annual pay reviews

  • A genuine pathway toward a future Hygiene Manager role

 

 

You’ll suit this if you

  • Have led hygiene teams in food manufacturing

  • Are confident, proactive, and people-focused

  • Like improving standards – not just maintaining them
