As a Production Operative in our Bicester depot, you’ll play an important part ensuring our freshly prepared products are delivered on time to meet our customer demands.
Your role is to ensure that products manufactured at Fresh Kitchen are handled and managed to the agreed production schedule and that they comply with specific customer requirements with a key focus on product quality, legality, safety, and the overall presentation of the product to the customer. In addition, key areas of responsibility include receiving goods in, maintaining good stock rotation/management, and working towards targets and deadlines.
To join us as a Production Operative, you’ll be comfortable working in a temperature-controlled (chilled) environment – don’t worry, we’ll give you a uniform to keep you warm! You will be handling and preparing various food products including meat and fish and spend most of the day on your feet. Experience in a food production environment or knowledge of basic food safety would be an advantage, but your ability to learn and be part of the team is more important.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
