Job Description
P&G is a leading company in the manufacture of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), making some of the world’s best-loved brands like Gillette, Fairy, and Oral B.
For 90 years, our Trafford Park site has been making products for families across the UK, and today it's the home of Pampers. Following significant new investment, we're growing our team and looking for an experienced leader with strong mechanical skills to join us as a Deputy Team Leader.
We are looking for skilled individuals with a proven track record of people and technical leadership in a fast-moving manufacturing environment to join us as Deputy Team Leaders.
What you'll do
- Lead the production line team when the Team Leader is away, keeping performance safe, high-quality, and efficient.
- Find and fix complex mechanical and process problems on high-speed production lines.
- Support planned maintenance and breakdown repairs.
- Coach and develop team members to build skills across the shift.
- Work with Engineering, Quality, and Maintenance teams to improve line performance.
- Make sure safety, quality, and operating standards are followed every shift.
Structured onboarding: You'll start on a days-based support team, learning our technology, systems, and leadership approach through hands-on problem-solving and maintenance work. Once you're signed off as fully qualified, you'll move onto shift and take on the full Deputy Team Leader role.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Shift pattern: The plant runs 24/7. After onboarding, you'll work 12.5-hour shifts covering days and nights.
Where this can take you: New Deputy Team Leaders join our Deputy Team Leader Academy, which mixes technical, leadership, and continuous-improvement training. From there, there's a clear path to Team Leader and, for those who want it, into management.
What We Offer You
- Salary: £49,162 starting, rising to £52,414 once qualified (both include shift allowance).
- Pension: we contribute double what you put in, up to 14% company contribution of pensionable pay.
- Private medical insurance (AXA Health), with the option to add your partner and children.
- 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, rising to 29 days with seniority.
- Share plan: for every P&G share you buy, we buy you another. You can contribute up to 2.5% of your salary into the Share Plan, up to a maximum of £150/month.
- Annual Wellbeing Allowance (Flex4Me): an annual allowance of £1,200 to spend on your physical, mental, and financial wellbeing.
- On site: free parking, free gym, subsidized restaurant, relaxation garden, and occupational health support. Our site is well-placed, close to bus and tram links.
- Training and coaching: formal hard and soft skill training plus day-to-day mentoring from your manager.
Job Qualifications
