We’re looking for an experienced Butcher to join our small team at Top Cut Butchery in Raglan.

Butchery will be the primary focus of the role, including breaking down and preparing meat, retail cuts and displays, customer orders, sausage and dog roll production, smoked products and other general butchery preparation.

Serving and assisting customers is also a key part of the role, and you’ll be expected to provide friendly, knowledgeable service across the counter.

Being a small team, everyone is expected to contribute to the wider running of the shop. When butchery work is up to date, you’ll assist wherever required rather than being limited strictly to butchery duties. This can include cleaning and food-safety requirements, audit/checklist paperwork, stock management and ordering, receiving deliveries, maintaining displays and other day-to-day operational tasks.

You will also be required to take responsibility for closing the shop when rostered to a closing shift, ensuring end-of-day tasks are completed and the shop is left clean, secure and ready for the following day.

We’re looking for someone capable of taking responsibility and helping keep the shop running when required, including stepping up during staff absences, sick leave and busy seasonal periods. You should be comfortable working independently, using initiative and doing what needs to be done to keep the business operating smoothly.

Flexibility during our busiest trading periods, particularly Christmas and New Year, is important as these are key times for the business.

Full-time position with competitive pay based on experience.
