Full time Kitchen Assistant Weston-super-Mare, England
Job description
We are an innovative, young food brand who produce award winning dairy-free cheese products. Founded in 2017, Kinda Co. has led the way in creating dairy-free cheese that not only looks and tastes amazing but is good for you and the planet too.
We moved our production from London to Weston in March last year, and are now looking for someone with experience working in food, to come and join our small and friendly team.
Role Description:
We are looking for someone reliable to help with the day to day process of making and distributing our dairy free cheeses. We make a range of 12 different plant-based cheeses and each day is varied in the kitchen. This role will encompass production, packaging and sending out our products to shops and customers, in addition to keeping on top of the necessary paperwork.
As a small, but fast growing, business we are ideally looking for someone with previous relevant experience who is also happy to muck in with whatever is needed. No two days are the same and it would be great to have someone who would like to stay and grow with the business.
This would be a great role for a chef who is looking for a Monday-Friday role, with no evening or weekend shifts.
