Farm Shop Assistant - The Balloon Tree
Do you love good food, great people, and being part of a lively team? The Balloon Tree is on the lookout for a Farm Shop Assistant to help keep our shelves full, our tills ringing, and our customers smiling.
About Us
We're a family-run farm shop bursting with fresh seasonal produce, local goodies, and plenty of Yorkshire charm. From our famous strawberries to our handcrafted bakes, everything we do is about quality, seasonality, and community. Our customers range from regular locals to excited day-trippers — and we love giving them all a warm welcome.
The Role
* Hours: 28–35 per week, day shifts only (with some weekends). Extra hours often available.
* Flexibility: Full flexibility with working days is important.
What You'll Be Doing
* Greeting customers with a smile and making their visit memorable
* Serving at the till and making barista-style hot drinks (don't worry, we'll train you up if you've never steamed milk before)
* Keeping our shelves topped up and displays looking lovely
* Making sure the shop stays sparkling clean and inviting
* Lending a hand with stock — from shifting boxes to checking freshness
* Following food safety & hygiene guidelines (and getting your steps in while you're at it)
What We're Looking For
* Someone who enjoys working with people and thrives in a busy environment
* Experience in customer service (barista skills are a bonus but not essential)
* A team player with a positive attitude and a good sense of humour
* Strong communication and time-management skills
* A genuine interest in food, farming, and all things local
Why You'll Love It Here
Working at The Balloon Tree isn't just a job — it's joining a team that cares. We're proud of our friendly atmosphere, supportive staff, and the buzz of being part of a thriving farm shop. Plus, you'll get to work surrounded by amazing local produce (and maybe taste-test a strawberry or two along the way).
