The Rewards Our client is known for its close-knit, supportive culture and commitment to employee growth. * Competitive Salary: Up to £29,000 depending on your operational experience. * Career Progression: Excellent opportunities for ongoing training and professional development. * Work-Life Balance: Generous "time off in lieu" for Saturday shifts and an earlier finish on Fridays. * Culture: Regular team social events and a modern, vibrant working environment.
