Job description

Curds, brine and plenty of turning… if you’re after hands-on production work, this role in Tain serves up the full cheeseboard. It’s physical, fast-paced and proudly full of character - much like the famously bold cheese you’ll be helping to craft.

Your day-to-day will involve:

• Filling vats with fresh milk to kickstart production
• Turning, stacking and transferring moulds to racks (some weighing up to 15kg)
• Brining cheeses and prepping them for the next stage
• Keeping production smooth with regular washdowns and product movement

What’s in it for you:

• A competitive rate of £12.80 per hour
• Full-time agency contract with potential to go permanent
• Monday to Friday schedule, 6am–3pm plus the occasional short Saturday shift
• Weekly onsite fruit baskets and, yes, the odd cheesy perk
• Full training and the chance to build new skills in a stable, friendly environment

This isn’t your average factory… it’s dairy with personality. We’re looking for people who bring the same - practical, team-oriented and ready to get stuck in.

If you’d love to be part of the process behind the product (and maybe earn some bragging rights at your next cheese night), we’d love to hear from you.
