Fresh Food Creator - Kilmacanogue

Job description

Five Generations of Craft For five generations, we’ve carried the craft of butchery in our hands and our hearts. Born in Clonmel and now grown across Ireland, our story has travelled far, yet its heart remains the same. We celebrate where we’ve come from, and our next chapter is rooted in education, empowering every person in our team to grow, create, and lead. We don’t just cut meat, we carve memories, season communities, and nourish connection. Every joint, every sausage, every slice tells a tale of care, craft, and commitment. Now, we’re looking for the next generation to join a team recognised as a Great Place to Work® 2025, where every hand, heart, and mind matters. Those Who Bring It to Life We’re always seeking special people. Those who believe excellence is an attitude, learning never ends, and the warmth of a smile is as important as the sharpness of a knife. Whether your passion lies in butchery, production, operations, or people and culture, there’s a place for you here — with pathways to grow, develop, and explore new roles as your journey unfolds. Your Craft as a Fresh Food Creator As a Fresh Food Creator, you are both an artisan and an ambassador. Your hands bring our bespoke recipes to life, shaping, seasoning, and crafting dishes that carry our family’s promise of quality and service. Behind every counter, in every shop, moments are waiting to be made. With every smile, every word shared across the counter, you’ll turn good service into genuine connection, because you know food isn’t just made, it’s felt. You’ll step into spaces where cleanliness thrives and care is felt in every detail, guided by the highest standards of HACCP and food safety. Here, cleanliness isn’t a chore, it’s an expression of pride. A Place to Grow and Flourish Everyday magic — through our partnership with Dunnes Stores, your Privilege Discount Card brings little moments of joy and real savings to your family and home. A hand when you need it — life isn’t always simple. Our Employee Assistance Programme in partnership with VHI offers confidential, compassionate guidance whenever you need someone in your corner. Pride in every stitch — We provide uniforms, lovingly crafted with Irish-owned Uniformal, honouring our butchery heritage. Comfortable, strong, and made with care, they are a quiet reminder of the pride we take in every creation. Your journey, your pace — with our driving lesson incentive, we help you gain independence, confidence, and skills that take you further, in work and in life. Invested in tomorrow — We provide a pension scheme to help you feel secure and supported, allowing you to dream, plan, and build your future alongside us. A foundation to flourish — the James Whelan Butchers Foundation offers scholarships and development opportunities, reflecting our belief in your talent, your ambition, and your potential. A Space to Create This is more than work — it’s a space to create, to share, and to honour a five-generation story of quality and service. If you feel that food is felt as much as it is made, and that every gesture matters, you belong here. Join us, and let’s craft something special — together.
