Assistant​/Trainer Cheese Maker

The Ethical Dairy is pioneering a revolutionary approach to dairy farming by keeping calves with their mothers to suckle, prioritizing animal welfare and environmental sustainability. This model has significantly reduced the use of antibiotics, improved biodiversity, and created a healthier environment for cows. Based in Gatehouse of Fleet, The Ethical Dairy advocates for a sustainable, high-welfare, and low-impact food system. Our farm and practices hold respect and kindness for animals, the environment, and our team at their core.

We are growing our cheese making team and we are looking to appoint someone who will enjoy learning to make, turn and pack cheese to a consistently high standard.

Attention to detail and a willingness to learn is important in this role.

Cheese making is physically demanding with challenging temperature changes throughout the year.

To make sure candidates for this position have an understanding of the working environment, the interview process will include the opportunity to join in on that days’ production and meet all members of the team.

This is a permanent position, and a share of weekend working will be required. This is a full time position but part time will be considered.
