Tara Clark - Continuous Improvement Apprentice
Continuous Improvement Apprentice
2SFG Thetford
I have worked for 2 Sisters Thetford for just over 3 years.
I knew I wanted to work in the food industry but had a lot to learn, 2 Sisters has allowed me to do both of those and start to build a career.
The scope of the work I have been able to complete covers many different areas. I have been given the opportunity to work with Continuous Improvement, managing waste reduction projects, Operations on the shop floor, with Health and Safety to complete risk assessments and Technical getting involved in customer complaint investigations at other sites.
The structure of the apprenticeship is very clear, course deadlines are communicated with plenty of notice and all expectations/requirements are made clear and understandable from the first day.
Inclusive, Engaging and Rewarding.
The best thing about working for 2 Sisters is that each day brings different challenges and these help build your skill base and your character.
The best thing about working for 2 Sisters is also the most challenging, you have to be flexible and be able to adapt to different scenarios quickly which can sometimes mean projects or tasks you’re dedicated to have to be put down and you have to move onto the next thing.
After I finish my apprenticeship I would like to stay at 2 Sisters and continue to grow within the company.
Definitely take the chance, working in a “Chicken Factory” understandably may not be appealing to younger people but it is so much more than that. There are many opportunities to kickstart a rewarding career and to climb the ladder as well as build a network with some great people from different departments and sites.

I was asked if I’d like to take part in an apprentice to help with my career progression.
• Completing projects such as continuous improvement projects • Completing assignments • Attending courses and completing exams such as HACCP and food safety
The course runs over two/three years, we are assigned different projects and attend a wide range of courses, covering everything from food safety to new product development (NPD) and given an insight into all aspect of the business.
Diverse, Reliable, Quality
Our colleagues, we spend almost half our day with our colleagues, they become our family.
My shift pattern, I work Monday to Friday, 2pm to 10pm which means I struggle to socialise with people.
I am using my apprenticeship as a learning tool. I have gained a wider knowledge on aspects such as HACCP, TACCP and problem solving. I want to use this knowledge to progress within the business.
Set your goals, put the hard work in and believe in yourself.
