About The Role
Hawk 3 Talent Solutions are seeking an experienced and proactive Hygiene Supervisor to lead our hygiene function within a fast-paced food manufacturing environment based between York and Leeds. This is a key role responsible for ensuring the highest standards of hygiene, food safety, and compliance across the site are consistently achieved.
As a 24/7 operation, flexibility is essential.

For example, attending and inspecting specialist cleans (such as free-from allergen cleans) that may take place overnight (e.g. 3am on Sundays), with working hours adjusted accordingly.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead, coach, and develop the hygiene team to deliver exceptional standards
- Ensure all hygiene, waste, and pest control systems are compliant and effectively maintained
- Verify daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning records are accurately completed
- Investigate hygiene-related non-conformances and implement corrective actions
- Support internal, customer, and third-party audits with data and inspections
- Deliver training and competency assessments for hygiene teams and wider site teams
- Ensure consistent availability of PPE across the site
- Drive continuous improvements in GMP and hygiene performance metrics
