Butcher

About Us

Fosse Meadows is a growing, high\-welfare poultry and food production business supplying premium wholesale, retail and farmers’ market customers.

We are known for:

• High\-quality, ethically produced food


• Hands\-on, practical working environment


• A business that is growing quickly and constantly improving

We’re now looking for a Butchery Manager to take ownership of one of the most important parts of the operation.

The role

We’re looking for a hands\-on Butcher to support the day\-to\-day running of our butchery, poultry cutting and abattoir operations.

This role sits under the Butchery Manager and is about making sure work happens properly on the ground — keeping things moving, maintaining standards and leading an area day\-to\-day.

You’ll be working closely with the Butchery Manager — both of you will be hands\-on on the floor, driving output and standards across the operation.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading part of daily production (cutting, red meat or abattoir depending on the day)


• Whole carcass butchery of lamb \& pork


• Producing added value products from sausages to bacon


• Working alongside the team to keep things running smoothly


• Making sure work is done:


• safely


• efficiently


• to the right standard


• Supporting flow between:


• abattoir → cutting → packing


• Spotting issues early and raising them

Your responsibilities

• Hitting daily targets (output, pace and quality)


• Maintaining product standards and consistency


• Ensuring hygiene, food safety and traceability


• Keeping your area organised and running properly


• Supporting and guiding operatives on shift

Leading the team

• Show others how to do things properly


• Keep standards consistent


• Support less experienced team members


• Lead from the front — this is a hands\-on role

What we’re looking for

Someone who:

• Has experience in butchery or food production


• Is practical, organised and reliable


• Is comfortable working at pace


• Is happy working across different areas (including abattoir)


• Is ready to step up and take ownership

Worth knowing

• You’ll be on your feet and involved all day


• The role moves between butchery, cutting and abattoir


• You’ll be working as part of a hands\-on team, not an office\-based structure


• It’s a growing business with opportunities to progress
