Our Team

Join the Locavore Team

Casual, part-time, and full-time roles available. Childcare-friendly hours and job-share options available.

Locavore Regenerative Organic Butchery is looking for neat, food-curious team members to join our growing stores.

Founded by Georgina Goddard and Morgan Wilkie of Brooklet Springs Farm, Locavore exists to connect people with pasture-raised, regenerative, organic proteins — produced with care for land, animals, and community.

We operate calm, clean retail spaces. While we’re a butcher by nature, most meat is prepared, packed, and frozen at our Byron headquarters. In-store roles are focused on customer experience, presentation, and precision — not messy bench work.

In-Store Health Nerd

(Front of House Assistant)

This role suits a food-literate, health-aligned professional who genuinely understands how people eat — and why.

Our Health Nerds are thoughtful, curious, and grounded in real food. They support customers with a wide range of food needs, sensitivities, and health considerations, helping people make informed choices using a calm, food-first approach within a retail (non-clinical) scope.

Well suited to candidates with backgrounds in naturopathy, nutrition, whole-foods cooking, or other allied health or food-as-medicine disciplines.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Serving customers and talking confidently about our meat, broths, and meals

• Supporting customers with informed, food-first conversations around food choices and sensitivities

• Maintaining a clean, well-organised, beautifully presented store

• Stocking freezers and managing small retail wall displays

• Mixing and packaging select dried goods

• Supporting daily store operations

• Supporting online store packing (Byron Bay)

Pay: From $33.00 per hour, based on experience
Role type: Casual with part-time / full-time considered for the right person.
Work location: Tugun (retail only) and Byron Bay (retail / online)

The Store Lead plays a key role in maintaining standards, supporting the team, and ensuring calm, well-run store operations.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Leading front-of-house operations across Tugun and Byron stores

• Supporting customers with informed, food-first conversations around food choices and sensitivities

• Setting and maintaining high standards for cleanliness, presentation, and flow

• Has a genuine interest in real food, health, and where food comes from

• Is comfortable supporting people with different food needs and sensitivities

• Is reliable, calm under pressure, and willing to learn

• Enjoys working as part of a small, values-driven team
