Location: Rural location near York
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00am–4:00pm
Salary: £28,000 – £32,000 per annum (depending on experience)
Start Date: ASAP (following interview and trial shift)

We are currently recruiting on behalf of our client, a well-established and growing food production business, for a full-time Butchery & Operations Coordinator. This is a hands-on, multi-faceted role based at their butchery site, working alongside a small, dedicated team.

The successful candidate will play a vital role in supporting the current Butchery Manager with day-to-day operations, with the long-term potential to take on more senior responsibilities within the business. This is not a purely butchery-focused role – it combines elements of production, logistics, systems coordination, and team support, making it an excellent opportunity for someone who is looking to grow within a business and broaden their skillset.

About the Role:

This is a varied and physical role that involves working across the full butchery operation, including:

• Assisting with butchery production, packing, and further processing of meat products
• Picking and packing cold store pallet orders for wholesale clients
• Handling restaurant and online orders from preparation through to dispatch
• Supporting the introduction of a new, more digital/IT-driven system to streamline operations
• Reducing paperwork and helping implement new procedures
• Taking part in general site operations and supporting team members across different areas
• Heavy lifting and physical work as part of the daily routine

You’ll be joining a close-knit team of 4 full-time and 1 part-time staff at the butchery site, and will need to be adaptable, reliable, and ready to get involved wherever needed — a real team player.

Key Skills & Requirements:

• Basic IT skills and a willingness to learn new systems
• Physically fit and comfortable with lifting and manual handling
• A proactive attitude and hands-on approach to work
• Reliable and able to work full time (Mon–Fri, 8am–4pm)
• Willing to attend an interview and trial working day as part of the recruitment process

Essential Qualifications:

• HACCP Level 2 or higher
• Food Safety Level 2 or higher
• FLT licence (counterbalance)
• Experience in butchery, food production, warehouse, or fulfilment roles

What Our Client Offers:

• Salary: £28,000 – £32,000 per annum (depending on experience)
• Long-term opportunity with clear potential for growth
• On-the-job training and mentorship from an experienced Butchery Manager
• A varied and interesting role that goes beyond traditional butchery
• Supportive, friendly working environment within a small team
• Early start and finish – no evenings or weekends

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build a career in food operations and gain experience across both production and logistics.
