Burton's Biscuit Factory in Edinburgh is hiring in these quick-start roles

Whether you've been furloughed and are looking for work or have been job hunting for some time now, there are some cracking roles on offer at Burton's Biscuit Factory.

The home of iconic biscuits, including Maryland Cookies, Jammy Dodgers and Wagon Wheels, the Edinburgh factory is known by sweet-toothed locals as a place to grab bags of biscuits considered not good enough for supermarket shelves.

Burton's employs over two thousand "biscuit workers" with factories in Blackpool, Llantarnam, Dorset, Livingston and Edinburgh and are looking to take on more people at their factory in the west of the capital.

They are looking for a "recorder/warehouse operative" to work on the factory floor covering night shifts, being paid £10.57 per hour.

The factory are also looking for a process operator, who will be paid an hourly rate of £10.79 on a day shift or £11.29 on a back shift.

The successful candidate will be taken on on a seasonal contract that expires in December and will be "working together as part of a team to ensure we make great biscuits". You can apply for this job here.

The company say they will be taking on candidates for both jobs from May 10.
