Butcher

Butchers cut, prepare, and sell meat, breaking down carcasses and portioning cuts for customers. The work is skilled and physical: using knives and saws to break down and trim meat, preparing cuts and products, advising customers, and maintaining strict hygiene and freshness standards.

They work in butcher shops, supermarkets, and food production. The role suits strong, precise people with good knife skills and product knowledge who enjoy hands-on work and customer contact, can break down meat efficiently and with minimal waste, and take pride in quality cuts and good advice.
