Job description

Love good food, meeting people, and learning something new? We're looking for seasonal team members to join Sheridans Cheesemongers over the busy Christmas period.

No previous cheesemongering experience is needed. An interest in cheese and good food is preferred, but not essential. What's most important is a willingness to learn, a positive attitude, and an enjoyment of working with customers and as part of a team.

At Sheridans, we believe great food is about more than what's on the counter. It's about the people who make it, the stories behind it, and sharing that with our customers. Working with us is an opportunity to learn about Irish and European artisan food, develop your retail skills, and be part of a team that cares about what it does.

You'll receive in-house training, work alongside experienced cheesemongers, and get to know some of the exceptional cheeses and foods we stock. There's also a great staff discount on Sheridans products.

• Welcoming customers and providing friendly, helpful service in a busy retail environment.
• Learning about and sharing knowledge of cheese, artisan foods, and the producers behind them.
• Helping customers choose products, discover new flavours, and find the perfect pairings.
• Caring for, and displaying cheese and other products to a high standard.
• Supporting the team with deliveries, stock rotation, and keeping the shop well organised.
• Presenting festive food hampers.
• Keeping counters, fridges, and work areas clean and tidy.
• Helping the team deliver a smooth and enjoyable customer experience throughout the busy Christmas period.

What We're Looking For

• A genuine interest in food, cheese, or artisan products is preferred, but not essential.
• Friendly, confident communication and a willingness to engage with customers.
• A positive attitude and a willingness to learn.
• Ability to work well as part of a team in a busy environment.
• Good attention to detail and an organised approach to work.
• Flexibility and availability to work 4-5 days per week, including weekends, to support business needs.
• Previous retail or food experience is helpful, but training will be provided.
