After all this time, the ethos of Avoca remains the same. We cherish our time-honoured traditions, which have been lovingly passed down through several generations. Today, there are third generation weavers working at the Mill. Our skills might be steeped in a long and rich tradition, but our attitude is to look to the future. Now heralded as one of Ireland’s most exciting retail stores, there are Avoca ceramics, clothing, perfumes, soaps and more from our own design studio. We have a host of award-winning cafes and restaurants, Food Markets crammed with artisanal ingredients from near and far, as well as a best-selling range of Avoca cookbooks. There are also gardens to explore at many of our stores, as well as florists and garden centres. The list goes on. And all of this from a modest hand-weaving mill, established in a rural Irish village in 1723.
We are currently looking for part-time Foodhall Assistants for our Avoca Dunboyne location.
The ideal candidates will have some experience in a similar position, and have excellent customer service skills. Knowledge and passion when it comes to all things food would be a distinct advantage. A can-do attitude and a willingness to go the extra mile for our customers is very important.
