Doncaster, Doncaster, United Kingdom Butternut Box Full time

The woof-tastic story about us
At Butternut, our mission is to deliver health and happiness to dogs and their humans all over the world. In order to do just that, we need a hard-working team. And we need quite a big kitchen too. Which is precisely why we have built one. Rudie's Kitchen is the place where we lovingly cook our Butternut meals using only the finest human-quality ingredients.

Rudie's is also where we package our meals and box them for our customers all over the UK and beyond.

We are a close nit team, with that family feel, looking to welcome more like minded people to our lovely team and keep work life fun and enjoyable.

The way we see it, you wouldn't serve food to dogs that you wouldn't be happy to eat yourself.

At Butternut, we believe dogs deserve better, and if that's something you think too, we want to hear from you.

Are you up for the challenge?
