At Stephens, everything we do is guided by 3 simple values: Customer First – every customer, every time, Can do Attitude – positive, proactive, and solution focussed, Stronger Together – we support each other to succeed.

About the Role

As a Despatch Operative, you will assist in the fulfilment of orders of our award‑winning products, ensuring the highest standards of food safety, output, quality, hygiene and health & safety. Everything we make is for our customers, so you’ll be part of a team that truly puts Customer First. We’re looking for people with a Can Do Attitude who take pride in their work and enjoy being part of a team where we’re Stronger Together.

What You’ll Do

  • Packing and picking savoury products and bread rolls.
  • Inspecting products to ensure high quality and legal compliance.
  • Reading order lists and counting products.
  • Carrying out cleaning duties in the Bakery and packaging area ensuring a high standard of hygiene/sanitation.
  • Lifting and bending, placing and stacking completed products in the correct area for delivery drivers.

What We’re Looking For

  • A positive, reliable attitude and willingness to learn
  • Pride in doing a job well for our customers
  • Someone who enjoys working as part of a supportive team
  • Bakery experience is a bonus, but not essential as full training is provided
  • This is a physically demanding role, so you’ll need to be comfortable with standing for long periods, manual handling, and working at a fast pace throughout your shift

The Perks

  • Free meal / products on shift – enjoy our products while you work
  • Special gifts at milestones like Christmas, weddings & length of service
  • Refer a friend and earn up to £150 each
  • 20% staff discount in all our shops
  • Free counselling for mental health, financial, legal or work matters
