We are a family run, independent, food loving Farm Shop & café based in the beautiful Ecclesbourne valley in Derbyshire
So, we could list all the reasons why you will like working at Croots but…
· It’s a given we have an amazing team; you wouldn’t get past a probationary period if we weren't the right fit for you or you weren't the right fit for us. Our team have a wide variety of interests, experiences and foodie tastes and we are like one big family, in fact we even have a name for ourselves – the Croutons!
· It’s a given that we have lovely customers - we pride ourselves on customer service and that’s what makes us different to others – high standards are a given but excellence in customer service is where we really shine.
· it's a given that we give you all the relevant training, development and tools to enable you to perform your job to the best of your abilities.
Gaps in your experience?
Not to worry, we believe we have the knowledge and structure to teach and support you. We encourage our team to progress and master skills particularly in areas where they are keen to develop. Whether you are recently graduated or have experience, we are supportive of training and development.
So, what do we look for in a new team member?
We are seeking an enthusiastic individual with strong communication & team working skills who has a real passion for fresh food. We believe in employing a person into our team that shares the same values as us. Curious what they might be? What have you got to lose by coming for a chat with coffee and cake on us?

So who are we?
Our award winning and well regarded Farm Shop and café has built up a strong reputation for local and home produced fresh foods over fifteen years of successful trading. Based in Duffield, looking over the Ecclesbourne Valley, we are an expanding and well established business determined to deliver the best local food experience in Derbyshire, rearing our own lamb and producing a wide range of delicious sweet and savoury delights! We are open Monday to Sunday, but you would be working over three to four days and we can have a chat about which but would include some regular weekend working. There would also be opportunities to do more hours to cover holidays etc should you wish.
What will you be doing?
· Serving customers in the shop and on the Deli
. Cleaning duties
· Operating tills
. Sampling products to customers
. Replenishing stock on the shelves (fruit and veg, frozen, chilled, groceries) - this will involve some physical work lifting heavy boxes etc
· Ensuring all food hygiene and health & safety requirements are met
. Weighing and wrapping products eg cheeses and cold meats.
. Learning about the products so you can confidently talk about the products with customers and answer their questions
This is physically quite a demanding role as some of the products are quite heavy to lift and the stock room is quite a distance away from the shop. We do have trollies/sack barrows to move stock, but there is still quite a bit of lifting and carrying involved.
Days of the week would include a Thursday & Sunday and one other week day
