Job description

Cheesemonger - Bishopstown - Full time positions available.

Love cheese? Love people? Love great food stories?

If you're looking for a role where no two days are the same, talking to customers, tasting exceptional food, and learning about artisan producers - this could be the perfect fit.

You’ll receive full in-house training, gain hands-on experience with Irish and European artisan food, and have real opportunities for career progression within the company.

And yes, there's also a great staff discount on Sheridans products.
