Production Assistant Job Description

Production is the core of our operation. We strive to create the highest quality product, and we do so by working as a team. As a member of the production team, you will be required to bring an open mind, a willingness to learn, a passion for gelato, and a positive attitude. It is paramount that you are also enthusiastic, focussed, and determined.

This role encompasses a variety of tasks, which can be segmented into four main areas: production, manufacturing, cleaning, and packaging. Production involves converting intermediary components into a final product, such like gelato and semifreddo cake making. Manufacturing is the process of transforming raw ingredients into a finished product, such as making gelato. As we operate within the food industry, having a clean place of work is significantly important and a pivotal part of this role. We take pride in a secondary branch of our services, wholesale. Our wholesale operation involves a systematic approach to the mass manufacturing and packaging of goods.

Production is split between two premises located in St. Andrews and Glenrothes with the opportunity to work in both locations.

It is a physically demanding environment, requiring manual handling and unvarying tasks, particularly during busy periods. A good level of flexibility is required in the role, to cover changes in service and locations, coverage for absences, training, etc.
