📣 WE’RE HIRING! JOIN TEAM YOLKER 🥚

We’re looking for someone to join The Yolker team, helping us produce AND sell our Yolkers.

This isn’t just a kitchen job — you’ll be getting stuck into everything from production and packing to markets, events and selling to our lovely customers!

THE ROLE
🥚 20+ hours per week
📅 Up to 5 days per week
⏰ Must be flexible across 7 days
🚗 Full clean driving licence essential
🧑‍🍳 Level 2 Food Safety preferred, but don’t worry if you haven’t got it — this can be completed with us.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:
🥚 Assisting with Yolker production
📦 Packing & preparing orders
🚚 Helping with loading/unloading and event set-up
🛍️ Selling at markets & events
🙋 Dealing with customers and representing The Yolker
🧹 And all the glamorous cleaning that comes with making thousands of Scotch Eggs 😂

We need someone who is reliable, hardworking, flexible and happy to muck in. Some days you’ll be in production, other days you could be out selling — so no two weeks are quite the same!

If you fancy joining the madness, send us a message with a little bit about yourself and your previous experience.

•Our production unit is based on Westgate Road, Newcastle.
•We cover events across the North East, Northumberland & Beyond!
•Use of Company Vehicle for Events.
