Job Opportunity: Warehousing & Delivery
Start Date: Immediate/March 2026
Who are we
We are Wold Top Brewery. A small, family run, independent brewery based on the Yorkshire Coast. Founded in 2003 out of the need for farm diversification, we grow our own Barley, have our own water supply and produce our own electricity to make great tasting beers! We ship out lots of lovely beer every day, in our own vans, via couriers and with larger scale hauliers. Due to retirement, we’re looking for someone to assist with our warehousing logistics and also assist with our local deliveries.
The job in a nutshell
To work alongside our team to ensure the beer gets to the right place at the right time! From packing up internet orders to loading lorries you will be an essential player in the team, making sure the beer leaving the brewery is 100% right. You need a good level of fitness - you’ll be on your feet all day, and capable of lifting, handling and moving too. Manual handling training will be given. Forklift driving required so prior experience of this would be very useful! There will also be one, maybe two days of local delivery driving work, in our branded vans - this is very much dependent on the time of year and busy periods.
