Are you a resilient and ambitious leader looking to step into a pivotal role running production lines, managing yields and driving performance within a thriving food production business?
As Butchery Assistant Shift Manager, you will play a central role in ensuring the smooth running of our butchery shift, working Monday to Friday from 05:15 to 15:15. Reporting directly to the Shift Manager, you will lead a team, manage daily room planning and step up to cover shift management duties whenever required.
We are seeking a proactive leader with a growth mindset who can multitask, remain calm under pressure and take ownership of daily production goals. You will combine hands-on butchery expertise with strong technical knowledge to drive room efficiency and yield performance.
Joining Danish Crown UK means building a career with a secure and stable business where long-term professional development is truly supported. You will enjoy genuine autonomy on the shift, clear opportunities for career growth and the chance to step up into broader management responsibilities.
Working a consistent Monday to Friday shift pattern (05:15 to 15:15), you will experience a structured working environment alongside a collaborative team. We offer a competitive salary package matching your experience, along with the backing of an established industry leader committed to helping you succeed.
Danish Crown UK is a business built on trust, teamwork and ambition. We exist to deliver food that people believe in, and we know that takes strong leadership and collaborative cultures.
Our leadership principles guide us. We act for the good of the whole organisation. We hire brilliant people and help them grow. We are ambitious, curious and open to new ideas. We build trust by accepting mistakes as part of development. We believe real leadership is earned through example, not title.
Whoever joins us will help create a workplace where people feel safe to speak up, share ideas, challenge old ways of working and stretch themselves to achieve more. If that sounds like the environment where you thrive, we would love to hear from you.
The Danish Crown Group is a global food processing company and among the largest in its field. The Group is the world’s largest pork exporter and Europe’s largest pork processor. Furthermore, Danish Crown Beef is a significant player in the European beef market.
Just like the crops in the fields continuously change, Danish Crown tirelessly refine and improve how we work, from farm to fork, to ensure good, safe food for people around the world to enjoy. Our history goes back to 1887 and the Danish cooperative movement, and responsibility towards society, our employees and our owners, the farmers, is quite simply in our genes.
As a global leader in meat production, we have big obligations; not just to deliver, but to explore new opportunities. We still have a long way to go and face many challenges. But we remain committed to improving how food is produced - with respect for animals, people and the environment. In this quest, we are prepared to challenge ourselves, the industry and the market.
This journey is not ours alone, but we promise to be the leaders of change.
You will become a part of a strong culture with roots in the Danish co-operative movement, and at all levels of the organization, you will be met by an informal and direct tone.
