Job description

IF YOU ARE GOING TO APPLY FOR THIS POSITION PLEASE READ THE LISTING IN FULL AND SEND A COVERING LETTER OR EQUIVALENT.

Hello,

I run a quality-driven ice cream business that I started 12 years ago. We opened a parlour 6 years ago (and a smaller 2nd one, down the road, last year) and it has been incredibly successful and we have a very high level of staff retention, we continue to grow and are now hiring to expand our team.

We are an exceptional company, doing exceptional things, and we are looking for great people. Our reputation is already exceptional and we are looking to push that even further.

We are now hiring a kitchen assistant at our production unit. Simple duties in a busy and exciting environment.

Responsibilities and Duties

Measuring ingredients, receiving and loading deliveries, washing up, etc.

It is a very manual job and a reasonable amount of strength is required (for lifting 25kg sacks of sugar, for example)

Qualifications and Skills

Alertness and common sense

Energy and enthusiasm

Care and precision; that you recognise the level of excellence of what you would be a part of

Presentability

Reliability and commitment

Benefits

Monthly performance bonus (after 3 months)

Training and progression

No evenings, no early mornings! Shifts are normally around 1pm-6pm

Be a part of a company where profit is not the driving force! We have resisted outside investment, rampant expansion and franchise opportunities. We would rather put our time, effort and money into sustainability, employee experience, ethics, customer joy, and moving the business forward in a way that is beautiful, different and exciting.

With regards to sustainability we invest hugely in this despite full knowledge that it will result in a drop in profits (customers don't generally care as much about it as you might think).

Sense of satisfaction and fulfillment from helping make and serve exceptional products that people adore and bringing genuine happiness and bliss to their lives.

Free ice cream, that is a given.

Opportunity to train and work in other areas of the business and get a great insight and understanding of how a independent and successful food/hospitality business works.

If you are keen to get involved please send me a few lines as to why you think you would be most suitable and a CV. Please include if you have a driving license (not required but useful for the events) and if you have any points and also if you smoke. Please also state what commitments you have, when you are available to interview and when, if offered the position, you would be able to start.

I look forward to hearing from you!
