We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Warehouse Operative at our East Kilbride site as part of ‘Finsbury Food Group’. 135 years of craft baking skills lie behind the quality of the special branded cakes, sweet snacks and slices we produce in East Kilbride and 55 million products are produced each year.

From baking our high-quality products to packaging them ready for distribution to our major retail partners such as Morrisons, CO-OP and Costa; our Bakery Operatives play a key role. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to gain experience with one of the UK’s largest bakery businesses, along with great opportunities for growth and development. At Finsbury Food Group, we are passionate about investing in our teams, creating great development opportunities.
