Love Great Food? Enjoy Meeting People? Join Our Award-Winning Deli Team
About Us
Hunters of Helmsley is an award-winning, family-run delicatessen at the heart of Helmsley's market square. For over 30 years we've been delighting locals and visitors with our food-to-go, cheeses, charcuterie, pies, and ice creams, as well as an upstairs treasure trove of wines, chocolates, speciality foods and homeware. Whether it's a lunchtime sandwich, a summer ice cream, or a Christmas hamper, we're proud to be part of people's food memories.
This role will be based on our busy deli counter downstairs – the hub of the shop. Here you'll serve up artisan produce, slice meats, prepare sandwiches and salads, and keep the counter looking as inviting as it tastes.
The Role
We're looking for a charismatic, food-loving people-person who thrives in a lively environment. You'll make sure every customer gets a warm welcome, brilliant service, and leaves with a smile (and something delicious in their bag).
You'll be…
· Greeting and serving customers with warmth and enthusiasm
· Preparing sandwiches, salads, and deli orders to a high standard
· Slicing meats, cutting and wrapping cheeses, and advising on our products
· Keeping the deli counter fresh, tidy, and well-presented
· Maintaining high food safety standards, including checks and cleaning routines
· Assisting with stock rotation, replenishment, and deliveries
What We're Looking For:
· A friendly, approachable personality with great communication skills
· A genuine passion for food (or a keenness to learn)
· Previous retail or hospitality experience preferred, but not essential
· Reliable, flexible, and comfortable working in a busy, on-your-feet environment
What You'll Get:
· Four-day working week for full-time roles
· Complimentary lunch and drinks on shift
· Staff discount on our award-winning products
· Company pension & holiday allowance (including Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year off)
· A close-knit, supportive team in a beautiful North Yorkshire market town
