We are hiring! Would you like to train to become a miller?
Tim, one of our most valued colleagues, who took up milling after retiring as a head teacher, has decided (as he nears 80) to reduce his hours! Climbing the ladders and lifting 25kg sacks, I am informed, is not as easy as it used to be!
We are therefore looking to train his replacement. The role involves helping prepare grain for milling, milling flour using our electric and wind driven millstones, dressing flour, bagging flour, cleaning and helping to maintain the machinery in accordance with our working procedures and systems and dealing with customers.
The paid role is around 10 hours per week (over two mornings per week), with more hours available in some weeks as we flex to meet customer flour demand. It will therefore best suit people who are local to Swaffham Prior.
A full job description and person specification is available – please message us using the Contact Form. Applications need to reach us by the 9th August 2024. It is a physical role, but a hugely rewarding role, milling flour in the same way millers have done in the mill for over 160 years, playing our part as custodians of this important part of our local, regional and national heritage.
