A rare opportunity to join the full-time team of one of England's leading sparkling wine producers.

We are looking for a Production Assistant to work in both the production and winery cellars, with a focus on the storage, riddling, disgorging, labelling, and packaging part of the process.

Reporting to the Operations Manager, the right candidate will have a willingness to assist in producing the highest quality wines. They should be keen to learn about sparkling wine production, along with a commitment to quality standards, whilst meeting health and safety regulations in an actively physical environment.

Working under the Operations Manager and Production Supervisor, you will assist with the operations in the warehouse and production cellar. This will include work on the riddling, disgorging, labelling, and packaging operations, and maintenance and cleaning of the production machines. This needs to be done with a focus on quality management, safety, and efficiency. It requires attention to detail with wine stock and dry goods in a busy, active environment where candidates can expect to be standing, walking, and moving during the day.

Working within the most technical part of the sparkling winemaking process, we understand that the right candidate will need training and a familiarity period to feel comfortable with the production warehouse work environment. We believe that it is more important to recruit for attitude and aptitude, offering on-the-job training for the specialist aspects. This is an ideal role for an active person who wishes to gain a full understanding of sparkling wine production and wants to get involved with the burgeoning English wine production industry.

There will also be the opportunity for work in the winery cellar, particularly at peak times such as harvest and bottling; as well as assisting with events for the public and trade at the winery site
