The successful candidate will play a vital role in supporting the current Butchery Manager with day-to-day operations, with the long-term potential to take on more senior responsibilities within the business.

* Taking part in general site operations and supporting team members across different areas
* Heavy lifting and physical work as part of the daily routine
You’ll be joining a close-knit team of 4 full-time and 1 part-time staff at the butchery site, and will need to be adaptable, reliable, and ready to get involved wherever needed — a real team player.

* Physically fit and comfortable with lifting and manual handling
* A proactive attitude and hands-on approach to work
* Reliable and able to work full time (Mon–Fri, 8am–4pm)
* Willing to attend an interview and trial working day as part of the recruitment process
Essential Qualifications:
* HACCP Level 2 or higher
* Food Safety Level 2 or higher
* FLT licence (counterbalance)
* Experience in butchery, food production, warehouse, or fulfilment roles
What Our Client Offers:
* Salary: £28,000 – £32,000per annum (depending on experience)
* Long-term opportunity with clear potential for growth
* On-the-job training and mentorship from an experienced Butchery Manager
* A varied and interesting role that goes beyond traditional butchery
* Supportive, friendly working environment within a small team
* Early start and finish – no evenings or weekends
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build a career in food operations and gain experience across both production and logistics. The right candidate will be someone who enjoys getting stuck in, values a tight-knit team, and is open to learning and development over time.
