Seasonal Wholesale & Ecommerce Cheesemongers (Temporary, 3 to 5 days per week)

Aug 22, 2025

We are looking for two enthusiastic people to join our production team as cheesemongers at our London site, in Bermondsey.

We are an independent business that has been selling cheeses from Britain and Ireland since 1979. As leaders within our industry, we are a world-renowned brand that provides established cheese expertise to our customers within the UK and abroad. 

Our Production Team consists of skilled cheesemongers who are responsible for cutting, wrapping and boxing about 80% of the cheese sold at Neal’s Yard Dairy. It is their job to prepare and package orders placed by the Sales Teams and to ensure that our online shop customers, as well as our wholesale customers in the UK and abroad, get their cheese in prime condition.

We are looking for self-motivated, deadline and target-focussed people who have the ability to work with routine and repetition-based tasks.  A commitment to our customers’ needs and focus on attention to detail is key.  People who enjoy the buzz and hard work of a busy environment, thrive working in a team and have an appetite to learn will do well in this role. 

You will possess a pass level qualification in Maths and have proven experience of computer literacy.  Though cheese experience would be an advantage, warehouse, production, retail or hospitality experience would put you in good stead for this role.  The nature of this role does require a good command of English literacy/language.
