LOVE CHEESE?

If you are looking for an exciting, seasonal opportunity to become part of the Irish food scene and spend your days chatting with customers about the world of cheese - this is the job for you!

We are looking for seasonal assistants (no previous experience needed) for our independent shops, and our Dunnes Stores locations all over the country, to support our existing teams over the busy Christmas period from mid-December.

They must enjoy conversation, and understand the importance of working with and promoting artisan food products. We are looking for people who can sell great cheese, people who can make the connection between the producers of this food and the people who will be consuming it. This involves telling stories, tasting the food, and sharing knowledge and experience.
