Here in the UK, we're about 2,400 strong, spread across seven factories and our Slough HQ. But don't let our size fool you – we're as close-knit as they come. We believe in speaking our minds, celebrating our differences, and pushing boundaries together. 

Diversity isn't just a buzzword for us.  We're on a mission to create a workplace where everyone belongs. So, even if you don't tick every box, we want to hear from you! Your unique perspective could be just what we need. Also, if there's anything we can do to make this process easier for you, just give us a shout. 

We’d love to hear from you if you can demonstrate the following knowledge, skills and experience: 

• You bring a strong foundation in legal knowledge, with a university degree in Law or an equivalent legal qualification. Whether you're an experienced paralegal or a recent graduate, your legal understanding will be valued and developed.

• You contribute to the team with excellent research, communication, and organisational skills, and a willingness to learn how to balance legal risk with commercial priorities in a practical, business-focused way.

• Experience in a legal advisory or paralegal role—particularly in-house or within FMCG, manufacturing, or retail—is a strong advantage, but we also welcome entry-level candidates with transferable skills and a passion for starting their legal career in a dynamic environment.

• Knowledge of areas such as data privacy, governance, or commercial contracts is helpful but not essential, and training will be provided. We encourage applications even if you don’t meet every criteria.

• You’ll thrive at KP Snacks by acting with integrity, taking ownership, and building strong, collaborative relationships, all while supporting continuous improvement and contributing to a trusted, high-performing legal team.
