About the General Worker Position
The main purpose of the General Worker role is to complete a variety of basic and manual tasks required in the processing and packaging of products.

The advertised duties specifically involve working with bread products, including monitoring conveyors, checking product quality, weighing bread and maintaining hygiene standards.
Key Duties and Responsibilities
The General Worker will be responsible for:
- Ensuring conveyors are moving correctly and checking that bread is not being squashed.
- Placing bread that has not been removed evenly onto conveyors.

- Performing reasonable work-related duties requested by the Supervisor.
- Keeping the work area at a good hygienic standard at all times.

The successful candidate will be expected to:

This means the role is not only about completing manual duties; employees are also expected to participate in activities aimed at improving workplace performance and engagement.
