Seasonal Retail Cheesemonger (2 days per week, Temporary)

Are you looking for a job that requires you to eat cheese all day? Would you like to learn more about our mission to Improve British Cheese and become part of it? Are you passionate about good food and great service? Then we would like to hear from you!

We’re looking for an enthusiastic Cheesemonger to join our Retail team on a casual, temporary basis from the 20th July, until the end of December 2026.

The successful candidate will be based across our 5 London shop including Barons Court, Borough Market, Bermondsey, Covent Garden and Islington. Locations will vary from one week to another, depending on the needs of the business. Retail Rotas are typically published 3 weeks in advance.

The position involves a full 9-hour shift per day and weekend work. The role is a weekend- only two days per week position. The role will ideally include additional shifts to support increased demand in the lead-up to the Christmas period.

We are looking for positive, energetic people with a can-do attitude. You will have a keenness to learn and be open to taking feedback and direction from your colleagues in a quick paced and service-oriented environment. Though cheese experience would be an advantage, it’s not a necessity. Any retail or hospitality experience would also put you in good stead for this work.

Requirements: 

• Available to start July
• Full availability 1^st-24^th of December inclusive 
• Full weekend availability. The weekly shift pattern involves working both weekend days, every week.

Benefits: 

·        An hourly rate of £13.40/h

·        Full on-the-job training 

·        The makings of a delicious lunch every day 

·        A steady supply of fresh bread and cheese (of course!) as well as tea and coffee 

·        A generous staff discount

A couple of important things to note before submitting your application:

·        This role involves the handling and selling of alcohol.

·        For our Retail Cheesemongers to understand the flavour and texture profiles of our cheeses and thus better be able to recommend options to customers, for this role there is a requirement to regularly taste our full range of cheeses including those that contain animal rennet.

If this sounds like a role for you, we would very much like to hear from you. Please complete the application form below, by end of day Sunday 5^th of July 2026.

We will be triaging applications as they arrive, and we aim to contact successful candidates within 7 days of their application. We reserve the right to close our vacancy earlier than advertised above.

All applications will require proof of eligibility to work in the UK.
