Butcher

Here at Harrods, we currently house more celebrity chefs, exclusive dining brands and unique food halls than any other location in the UK. As a Butcher, you will be joining a passionate, supportive, and award-winning production kitchen, all within our iconic Knightsbridge store.

About the Role

As one of our butchers in the production kitchen, you'll be part of the team who not only create all of the freshly made deli items that are sold in our food halls, but are also responsible for preparing meat products for the majority of our in-house restaurants. Reporting into the Lead Butcher, you’ll be a key member of the team, whose role is integral to the smooth operation and delivery of the Kitchen operations. 

You’ll be responsible for the organisation, stock rotation and labelling of food stored ensuring that all administration for your own section is completed and complies with the deadlines set. In this role, you’ll guarantee that Food Safety standards are adhered to by enforcing the high standard of hygiene and sanitation in all food-related outlets.

About You

Having knowledge and passion for food and drink is essential, ideally with time spent as a butcher within either a retail or catering environment. In return you'll be given all the training and support you'll need to develop your kitchen career at Harrods.

You’ll have great time-management skills and a strong customer focus when dealing with both internal and external parties. You’ll have exceptional interpersonal skills and a good attention to detail, which will be evident through paperwork completed, organisation of department and sufficient stock levels.

In return for your hard work as a Butcher, you’ll learn every aspect of working in a busy, premier kitchen and will receive some great benefits including:

• Competitive salary package of up to £15.20 p/h (this is made up of a generous base salary plus service charge)*
