At the heart of our business are our people. It’s an important part of what we mean by ‘It’s all good’ that we treat everyone in the McCain family with respect and fairness – and make sure we offer as many opportunities for career and professional development as we can.

It’s a sign of a good company that people feel good – about themselves, about their job; and about their community.

We’ve worked hard to create a friendly and diverse culture where everyone can do well. We want to attract committed, confident leaders at all levels, people who are lifelong learners; who value continuous improvement; who can drive performance and give us great ideas to help keep us at the leading edge of our market.

Nothing is more important to us than the safety and wellbeing of our employees. Our intensive training and commitment to the highest Health & Safety standards has reduced accidents by 66% since 2000 – and keeping it at this low level is a top priority.

‘The only way to build a healthy company is through healthy people – I can’t think of a single more effective way to develop our company, than encouraging and promoting the health and well-being of each member of the McCain team’

Dale Morrison,
President and CEO
McCain Foods Limited

We encourage a culture of lifelong learning at McCain. Our employee appraisal programme includes personal development plans, supported with a Learning and Development scheme and a wide range of resources to help all our people acquire new knowledge and skills.

It’s not just our employees’ learning we support – it’s their children’s too. Every year we award five £1,000 scholarships for higher education to the children of people who work for us.

McCain is one of the most successful privately owned food companies in the world. It’s a family company: and that means we care about how we work, not just about how hard we work. We employ 20,000 people across six continents – which not only makes us a dynamic, diverse team, but also offers a huge range of career opportunities.

These range from manufacturing roles to positions in sales, HR, Finance, IT and Marketing. Whatever your job, one thing’s certain: we’ll give you all the support you need to make a difference, with as much responsibility as you can handle. There will also be plenty of challenges and opportunities for professional advancement, both here and overseas. Your end of the bargain will be demonstrating a ‘can-do’ spirit, a passion for our business and a genuine desire to make our customers happy.

Graduates play a major role in the success of our business, and our training and mentoring programmes have been designed to help graduates develop their potential in a flexible way, allowing them to move across disciplines within the business.

And did we mention we’re a sociable lot? It’s not all about work - we like to have fun too.

We offer competitive salary and benefits packages and a company culture where your input will be respected and valued. We also offer you comprehensive educational and health programmes as well as the kind of global career opportunities that few other businesses can match.

Perhaps just as importantly, we go out of our way to try and make every day with us memorable, interesting and enjoyable.
