The business is looking for people to join in a range of factory-based roles, with more than 200 positions available at its Malton headquarters in North Yorkshire.

More than 100 roles are available in Scunthorpe with a further number of vacancies in Hull.

Steve Ellis, CEO at Karro, said: “Following the government’s advice to avoid unnecessary social contact due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the demand for in home food has risen sharply.

“We are proud to do our bit to keep food on the nations table and are looking for more people to come and help support our efforts.”

The firm said applicants from the hospitality sector would be particularly suitable for the jobs due to their familiarity with food hygiene and safety regulations.

However, the pork producer added that it would also provide training to those who have no experience.

Mr Ellis added: “At Karro we want to do all we can to support the local communities in which we operate.
