Salary: Industry-benchmarked competitive salary
Position: Full-time, Permanent
Join our grand brewing adventure! Little Ox Brewery is a small, independent, family-run brewery that’s been making exciting, modern beers for over 10 years. We’re now looking for a passionate Brewery Assistant to join our production team.
We’re a small bunch, which means everyone plays a proper part in what we do. There’s no disappearing into the background here! You’ll work closely with our Director and Head Brewer, getting hands-on experience and learning the art and science of brewing along the way.
It’s a great opportunity to get stuck into all things brewing, develop your skills and have a real say in the day-to-day life of a growing independent brewery.
Key Responsibilities:
Brewing & Cellar Work
- Get hands-on with the day-to-day running of the brewhouse and cellar. This includes cleaning vessels, looking after tanks and making sure all our brewing kit is kept in good working order.
Packaging & Deliveries
- Help get our beer ready to leave the brewery, whether that’s into kegs, casks or cans. You’ll also get involved with stock control, organising orders and making deliveries to our customers.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Quality & Safety
- Help us keep our beer tasting great and our brewery running safely. You’ll look after raw materials, carry out safe product transfers and follow all the relevant health, safety and brewing regulations.
Taproom & Events
- Get involved in the fun side of brewery life too! You’ll occasionally help out in our taproom and at events, including the odd Friday evening or Saturday.
What We Are Looking For:
Brewing Knowledge
- Some understanding of how beer is made would be great, but it’s definitely not essential. If you’re keen to learn, we can teach you the rest.
Hands-On & Physical
- This is a hands-on job and there’s plenty of lifting, moving and getting stuck in. You’ll need to be comfortable with physical work and have a good understanding of safe manual handling.
Attention to Detail
- We care about making consistently good beer, so you’ll need a good eye for detail and be comfortable keeping accurate records along the way.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Problem-Solving
- Things don’t always go exactly to plan in a brewery! We’re looking for someone who can think on their feet, troubleshoot problems and help find practical solutions.
Communication & Organisation
- You’ll be working closely with the rest of the team, so good communication is important. You’ll also need to be able to organise your own workload, prioritise tasks and get things done without needing to be chased.
Driving
- A full UK manual driving licence is essential. A forklift licence would be a bonus, but isn’t essential.
Professional Development:
For the right candidate, we offer the opportunity to complete a formal Level 4 Brewer Apprenticeship. This program typically takes 18 to 24 months to complete, counts as an industry-recognised qualification equivalent to the first year of a university degree, and serves as an excellent gateway into the craft beer sector.
Benefits:
- 28 Days Holiday including bank holidays
- Company pension scheme
- Discounted beer
