Farmfoods Ltd

Farmfoods is a sixty year old family business. When you join us you will become a part of achieving our mission to deliver the simplest, best value, friendliest shops in town… different to anywhere else and much better.

With over 300 shops spread nationwide from Invergordon to Plymouth, the chances are we have a location for you.

We are a family business, not a corporate monster. Our culture is built around our values of Hard Work, Trust, Respect and Positive Attitude and our belief that You Are In Control. At every level in Farmfoods you are trusted and expected to take responsibility for yourself, your work and your colleagues. This is important because in everything we do we remember that it is our customers who pay our wages, and our shop teams who serve them. We therefore trust our shop teams to take responsibility for delighting our customers every day.

If you are a naturally friendly, enthusiastic person we think you’ll fit right in and love our hard-working, hassle free, customer first approach.

We have full and part time positions available to suit your existing commitments and life. There are lots of opportunities across our business, however most people start in our retail operations. When you join you’ll benefit from our award winning training programme and because we only promote to Shop Manager and more senior retail positions from within, you can be sure that there will be opportunities for you if you want them. Whatever your current situation, have a look below and find the job for you.

This isn’t just a job on the checkouts. From serving customers at the till to keeping the shelves and freezers full, as a member of our team you’ll do a bit of everything. All great experience and plenty to add to your CV. We work in a competitive, fast paced environment and you will need to get stuck in and give it your all. We do things pretty quickly and there’s always something to be done. You won’t find a job with us boring.

We also believe it is important to enjoy coming to work. With a friendly team around you, don’t be surprised if you end up staying a while. Our average Retail Assistant stays for 3 years and because we only promote to branch management from within, once they are bitten by the bug, many stay much longer.

We opened our first modern distribution centre in Cumbernauld, Scotland in 1978. Since then we have expanded our operation and have opened another three distribution centres in Warrington, Solihull and Bristol. Our four depots serve our 300 branches and are home to 800 employees working 24 hours a day, 363 days a year.

At Farmfoods, we don’t outsource our distribution operations and the two main roles we recruit for are Warehouse Operatives and Category CE Drivers.

Warehouse Operatives
Picking is the foundation of the warehouse operation and all of our Warehouse Operatives start their careers as pickers. After spending time picking there are opportunities to move into other warehouse roles such as working in the operations office or becoming a reach truck driver. It’s a physically demanding role and everyone works hard to support their team and get the job done. We recruit for full and part time Warehouse Operative positions over three shift patterns.

Category CE Drivers
Our drivers are the face of the distribution operation, they are on the roads driving Farmfoods vehicles and are viewed by our customers and potential customers. They are friendly and hard working people who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. At Farmfoods, our drivers are responsible for not only delivering the loads safely and promptly to our branches, but also for unloading the vehicle when they arrive. Efficiency is key to our operation, and our drivers are trained to drive our vehicles as efficiently as possible.
