Why Greencore?

Following the combination with Bakkavor in January 2026, we’re one of the UK’s leading creators of convenience food, driven by a simple purpose: to make every day taste better.

As a vibrant and fast-moving business, we’re proud to employ over 28,000 talented colleagues across 36 manufacturing sites and 21 distribution depots in the UK and the US. Together, we bring delicious food to life. Our products cover every meal occasion from breakfast through to dinner and dessert, with lunch and snacking in between. In FY25, our shared passion helped us achieve combined revenues of approximately £4bn.

Our extensive direct-to-store (DTS) network, with 17 depots across the UK, allows us to deliver fresh and frozen food both our own and from trusted partners to thousands of stores every day, ensuring consumers enjoy the very best, whenever and wherever they shop.

Our site in Spalding is a vibrant hub where over 1,470 colleagues bring handcrafted sandwich wraps, salads, dips, soups, sauces, and mayonnaise to life across three manufacturing facilities and a distribution centre.

What you’ll be doing

In this busy and exciting role, you will provide high-quality, consistent, and compliant administrative and operational support to the Occupational Health and Wellbeing (OH&W) function, enabling the efficient delivery of services that promote the health, safety, and wellbeing of employees across the organisation.

You will support the Senior Occupational Health Advisor in the implementation of OH&W programmes and assist in coordinating wellbeing initiatives across sites, working closely with the Wellbeing Business Partner to maximise the impact of Bakkavor’s wellbeing services.

Role Accountabilities

  • Manage OH appointments and wellbeing services, ensuring timely scheduling and smooth coordination.
  • Prepare and support clinics and wellbeing activities, liaising with managers and colleagues for effective delivery.
  • Provide administrative support, including record management, documentation, and GDPR-compliant handling of confidential information.
  • Order supplies and manage purchase requests to ensure resources are available.
  • Act as key contact for internal stakeholders and external health providers, coordinating referrals and service delivery.
  • Support delivery and promotion of wellbeing initiatives and campaigns, collaborating with the Wellbeing Business Partner.
  • Compile and report OH&W metrics, using digital tools to ensure accurate data management.
  • Ensure compliance with health, safety, and company policies, and contribute to continuous improvement of OH&W processes.

About You

  • You have proven experience providing administrative support in a busy office or healthcare environment and are confident using Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, with experience in digital health platforms considered a plus.
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail, you handle confidential information with discretion and can manage multiple priorities, working independently to meet deadlines.
  • Your excellent communication and interpersonal skills enable you to collaborate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders, both internally and externally.
  • You are committed to employee wellbeing and have a genuine interest in supporting health, safety, and wellbeing initiatives.
