Job Description

A nationally recognised, award-winning farm shop, Ludlow Farmshop is located just outside the market town of Ludlow, in the beautiful Shropshire countryside. Part of the Earl of Plymouth Estate, Ludlow Farmshop supports traditional production methods, with departments making great tasting products, such as cheese pastries, cakes, biscuits, jams and pickles, as well as a famous butchery department. Using as much produce from our own estate, we also support other local suppliers who have the same ethos as us. Coupled with the focus on reducing the impact of what we do on the environment, Ludlow Farmshop has an excellent reputation for quality products, which you cannot buy elsewhere.

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Kitchen and Delicatessen Manager. The Production Kitchen prepares all of our pies, pasties, sausage rolls, cooked meats, sandwiches, salads and a range of other products sold in Ludlow Farmshop, Ludlow Kitchen & The Clive Arms.

Ensure you and your team are customer focused at all times

Engage with customers when on the shop floor and provide the highest quality of customer service

Ensure the products produced for sale from your departments are of the highest quality and have sufficient shelf life

Be pre-active in new product development

Ensure your department has the correct staffing levels, via management of a monthly rota

Inspire your team to be passionate about the products that we sell

Ensure you and your team comply with food safety laws at all times

Adhere to the company's health and safety procedures at all times

Support and train your team to ensure that they can perform their jobs to the highest standard

Ensure the smooth running of the kitchen and delicatessen

The ideal candidate will have experience of working in a food preparation environment, have customer facing experience and also has a passion to drive these departments further.

The day starts early, with shifts starting at 5.00am or 8.30am. The contracted hours are 39 hours per week. Successful candidates will be required to work on a 7-day rolling rota, and you will be scheduled to work 5 out of 7 days each week. This will involve working weekends and bank holidays on a rotational basis, with two guaranteed days off each week.
