About the job
Beanies is a thriving business with a fantastic working atmosphere and a diverse, supportive team. This is a hugely rewarding job which provides meaningful connection to our community of growers, suppliers and customers. Working at Beanies is an opportunity to learn everything you need to know about running an ethical business.
As a co-operative we all contribute to running the business and decisions are made together in fortnightly meetings.
We all do a mixture of desk-based and practical work. All kinds of work are equally valued as we all get paid the same hourly rate. Some of us become more specialised over time, with particular responsibilities and areas of oversight.
While training you will be required to work across all areas of the business. There may be opportunities to specialise further down the line.
About you
All members are company directors. This is a position of responsibility and requires individuals with a professional attitude and a long-term commitment to the business.
Direct, relevant experience is great - but what matters most is your attitude and aptitude. In the past we’ve taken on career-downsizers, people returning to work after raising families and university leavers; we welcome applicants from all walks of life.
Beanies is a vegetarian business with a commitment to environmental, Fairtrade and animal-friendly practices. Our ideal candidate will share these values.
When applying for the role, you should show that you understand what we do, and explain clearly what you have to offer us.
