Production Operative - Candles and Toiletries
Home County Co., Buckinghamshire (LU7 0LT), relocating to Buckingham October 2026 | Full-time, permanent | Proposed start September 2026
Home County Co. is a fast-growing British home fragrance and toiletries manufacturer, hand-crafting products inspired by Britain's most beautiful places. With 500+ wholesale stockists and a thriving direct-to-consumer business, we're scaling quickly – and we're looking for a Manufacturing Operative to join our production team.
Please note: we're relocating premises in October 2026, to a new unit within 15 minutes of our current site – there will be no material change to your commute.
Role Overview
This is a hands-on, physically demanding production role at the heart of how our products are made – hand-pouring candles, filling diffusers, and working across our product range to a high standard. You'll work closely with the Production Planner, who manages stock and scheduling, and will report to management. You'll be on your feet for most of the day, so being comfortable in a busy production environment is a must.
