Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.
Typically £12.21–£14 an hour on days (£24,000–£29,000), with nights and continental shifts £14–£17.
Days, nights, 4-on-4-off and rotating three-shift patterns; check the pattern and premium in the advert.
Right to work and references; a forklift licence or food-hygiene certificate helps.
