As we continue to grow, so do the opportunities.

We’re expanding our team at Ian Chatfield Butchers & Deli and are looking for a skilled, customer-focused Butcher to join our Front of House Team.

This is more than a behind-the-counter role — it’s a chance to represent a premium, artisan butcher known for quality, tradition, and five-star service. If you're ready for a new chapter in your butchery career, we want to hear from you.


About Us

At Ian Chatfield, we are proud to be more than just a butcher’s shop. We're a destination for food lovers who value provenance, craftsmanship, and a personal touch.
Operating 7 days a week from our beautifully presented Tonbridge store and via our growing online shop, ianchatfield.co.uk, we deliver the highest standard in artisan meats, deli delights, and customer care — locally and nationally.


The Role: What You’ll Do

As a Front of House Butcher, you'll combine your craft with customer service excellence:

Prepare and present a wide variety of meats to the highest standard

Provide expert product knowledge, advice, and recommendations to customers

Ensure counter displays are visually appealing and well-stocked

Work closely with a passionate and professional team

Maintain strict food hygiene, safety, and cleanliness standards

Use basic IT systems for point-of-sale and order processing (full training provided)


About You

You’re a people person with a passion for quality, detail, and great food. You enjoy retail butchery, thrive in a busy shop environment, and love connecting with customers as much as perfecting a cut.

What We’re Looking For:

Minimum 2 years’ butchery experience (retail experience preferred)

A full, clean UK driving licence

Comfortable using basic IT systems

Confident, reliable, and enthusiastic

Committed to outstanding customer service


Why Work With Us?

We invest in people the same way we invest in our produce — with care, consistency, and long-term growth in mind.

What We Offer:

Up to £35,000 per year (based on skills & experience)

Performance-based bonus

Company pension scheme

Generous staff & store discounts

4 weeks holiday plus Bank Holidays

Company events & team meals

Supportive and friendly team culture

A beautifully presented, high-end store environment

Opportunities for personal and professional development
