Join our snack-loving team
We’re looking for four Resource Planners to join us at KP Snacks. If you’re ready to bring your ideas to the table, grow your skills and be part of a team that values what makes you, you – this could be your next big move.

About the role

As a Resource Planner at KP Snacks, you will play a key role in keeping our Ashby site running smoothly. Working in a fast-paced, 24/7 manufacturing environment, you will plan and coordinate labour across multiple production lines to ensure we meet demand safely and efficiently.

Acting as the first point of contact for labour planning, you will work closely with Line Leads, Operations Managers and the wider operations team to balance resource, manage risk and respond quickly to changing priorities. This is a high-impact role where strong organisation, clear communication and proactive thinking will make a real difference every day.

Our Ashby site is one of our largest, with around 650 colleagues producing around 650 tonnes of snacks every week in a 54,000m² facility.

What’s in it for you?
We believe in rewarding our colleagues and helping them thrive. Here’s a flavour of what we offer:

  • A yearly salary of £43,000, plus an annual bonus scheme with a strong track record of overachievement

  • Comprehensive healthcare support – including Medicash Health Cash Plan, Private Healthcare, Digital GP, Best Doctors second opinion service and specialist cancer care

  • KP Pension Plan – contribution matching up to 7% of your salary

  • 25 days holiday, plus the option to buy more

  • KP4ME – our online platform for benefits, discounts, wellbeing tools and more

What will you be doing?

  • Leading labour planning across site
    Ensure the right people are in the right place at the right time to meet production demand

  • Managing resource allocation
    Use planning tools to optimise staffing levels across multiple lines in a 24/7 environment, including holiday approvals within agreed limits

  • Identifying risks and gaps
    Spot potential labour shortfalls early and take action to resolve or escalate

  • Collaborating with stakeholders
    Work closely with Line Leads, 24hr Managers and Operations Managers to maintain efficient operations

  • Communicating clearly and consistently
    Provide timely updates to keep the wider operations team aligned

Who are we?
We’re KP Snacks, part of the Intersnack family. Across more than 30 countries, over 15,000 of us work together to make the snacks people love – from Hula Hoops to McCoy’s. In the UK, we’re a team of around 2,400 colleagues, based across seven sites and our Slough HQ. We’re proud of our close-knit culture, where we speak up, celebrate differences and push boundaries together.

We’re committed to inclusion
We’re building a workplace where everyone belongs. If you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you – your unique perspective could be just what we need. And if there’s anything we can do to make the process easier for you, just let us know.

We’d love to hear from you if you can bring:

  • Strong organisation and prioritisation skills
    Able to manage competing demands in a fast-moving environment

  • Confident communication and stakeholder management
    Build effective working relationships across teams

  • A proactive and solutions-focused mindset
    Take ownership and act quickly to resolve issue

  • Good Excel capability
    Comfortable using spreadsheets to support planning and decision-making

  • Experience in a manufacturing or operational environment
    Ideally within a cross-functional setting
