Avara Foods in Wales is recruiting now for production colleagues to join its team. Whether you’re looking for a seasonal role on a temporary basis or something long term, Avara might have just what you’re looking for.

Avara offers starting rates of pay above National Living Wage, whatever your age, and prides itself on being a company people want to work with and for. With training provided, and the chance to progress within the company during the busiest period in its history, it’s an exciting time to join.

The company’s Welsh operations have seen great investment over the past few years, with millions of pounds spent developing the factory. Its colleagues are at the heart of its success however, and with demand for its products stronger than ever before, Avara is seeking motivated people to join its hardworking team.

South Wales Argus:

Avara Foods is one of the UK’s largest foods companies, supplying some of the country’s favourite supermarkets and restaurant chains. A job with Avara is a stable one – food production has been recognised throughout the COVID-19 pandemic as a key industry.

During these challenging times many British companies are reducing staff numbers, but Avara is actively recruiting across its operations as demand for poultry products remains high. Chicken is a staple product of many consumers’ weekly shops, and the company needs new colleagues at its Welsh site to help keep pace.

The company has implemented a range of measures to keep colleagues safe during the coronavirus pandemic; these include screens and curtains installed along production lines to create physical barriers, floor markers laid in canteens and other shared spaces and staggered shift start and finish times to reduce the number of colleagues coming into contact with one another.

Canteens and break areas have spaced out seating and perspex dividers and additional cleaning regimes have been enacted in high traffic areas and more hand sanitising stations installed across the site. Temperature checking of visitors, new starters and daily random temperature checking, along with a company-wide face covering policy provides further peace of mind for those working at the factory.

The company’s sickness policy has been amended in light of the pandemic too, to ensure those required to self-isolate are not unfairly disadvantaged.
