Job description

Butcher | Harris Farm Markets, Lindfield

Your knife. Your craft. Your customers.

Imagine a counter where people don’t just grab a pack and go. They stop, they ask, they trust you. That’s a Harris Farm butchery. We’re a growing, family owned Australian fresh food business, and everything we do is driven by our purpose: the Greater Goodness, for our customers, our community, our planet and each other.

We’re searching for our next Butcher, and we’d love it to be you.

What it’s like to be a Harris Farmer

• Do work that matters and contributes to something bigger
• Grow your career in more directions than one
• Build real connections with people who feel like family
• Be valued for who you are, every single day

We reward our people fairly and offer benefits that genuinely matter, because great people deserve great things.

Your day on the block

You’ll prepare, present and sell premium protein that customers can’t get at a supermarket. Then you’ll send them home with the right cut for the occasion and the advice to nail it. You’ll also be a teacher, bringing the next generation of Meat Assistants up under you.

• Break down, bone, portion and prepare meat to Harris Farm specification, with cuts, weights, trim and presentation that make the cabinet look incredible
• Get creative with value added products like marinades, skewers, burger patties, sausages and roasts
• Quality check every delivery and send back anything that doesn’t meet our standards
• Use your trade judgement to cut waste and turn trim into something sellable
• Keep your blocks, boards, counters and tools spotless, because a butcher’s station is their reputation
• Own cold chain, hygiene and food safety, end to end, every shift

You might be our Butcher if you

• Love food and protein, and have worked in fresh food retail
• Communicate with confidence, whether it’s with a customer or a new team member
• Back your Butcher Manager and step up when they’re off the floor
• Show new team members the Harris Farm way, not just the technical way
• Enjoy variety and being on your feet

Why you’ll love it here

• Work with a highly successful, growing business
• Be part of a team that feels like family
• Build a career path with real room to move

At Harris Farm, we welcome everyone, from all walks of life and all abilities. If you think you could be a great Harris Farmer but don’t tick every box above, don’t be shy.
