Fulfilment Assistant (Cheese)
Here at cheesegeek we, unsurprisingly, love cheese, and we are on the hunt for seasonal Cheese Whisperers to help us to take care of this amazing product from order all the way to despatch! This will mainly involve cutting, wrapping and packing our delicious cheeses at CG HQ ready to send off to our lovely customers.
Whilst we’ve called this role a Fulfilment Assistant, we could have gone with Cheese
Whisperer. Why a Whisperer? Because we want you to have a sixth sense when it comes to cheese communication. Look at it, talk to it, feel it, understand it. Cheese will be your best friend...ideally, it already will be.
We are a small team that is busiest at Christmas so looking for some extra hands to help us during the festive season - your full focus will be on cutting, wrapping and packing cheese. It’s probably not a role for the lactose intolerant!
What we’re looking for in you
- Love for cheese!
- An enthusiastic and sociable attitude – we are a small and friendly team with a great working atmosphere…we are also smooth operators working like a well-oiled machine so anticipating the needs of others and thriving in a team environment is a must!
- Diligence and care taken in every step of the cheese journey from fridge to box – we want you to love and care for the cheese as much as we do! Attention to detail is key here at cheesegeek HQ.
- Good listening skills and the ability to pick things up quickly – Communication is key! Things move swiftly when it comes to our cheese – it goes from fridge to box in the blink of an eye, so we need efficiency and great communication between all our geeks!
- The ability to remain calm and efficient working in a fast paced environment – there can be a lot happening at once - especially in the weeks running up to Christmas
- Experience working with food. Even better...cheese. We are very keen to hear from anyone who has experience in working with God’s greatest gift to the food world. Cutting or wrapping, get in touch!
- Love for cheese! (so important, we listed it twice)
Key Responsibilities
- Operating equipment such as Cheese Wire Cutters, Knives and Slicers. You will be using our cheese slicers/knives to divide up wheels/blocks of cheese – this will require bags of care and adherence to our super important health and safety procedures
- Wrapping cheese with care and speed – not only does our cheese have to taste mega, it has to look mega too!
- Packing our recklessly good-looking boxes with our mouth-watering cheese so that everything stays chilled and fresh for the journey ahead.
The details
- Whisperers need to be at least 18 years of age - we handle knives and slicing equipment in our prep areas so this is a requirement
- We would love it if you had relevant qualifications - Food Safety Training, HACCP etc (forklift licence an added bonus)
-We will be holding an open day for applicants on Wednesday 6th Nov in the afternoon
What’s in it for you
- enough cheese to sink a small ship
- opportunity to be part of a high growth start up at their busiest time
