About Zak’s Kombucha
Zak’s Kombucha is an independent, fast-growing kombucha brewery based in the rural outskirts of Wye, Kent. We’re committed to brewing high-quality, small-batch kombucha with bold flavours, real ingredients, and a focus on health, sustainability, and local community. As we expand production, we’re looking for a hands-on Assistant Brewer to support day-to-day operations and help us keep up with growing demand.
The Role
You’ll be working closely with our Head Brewer and Production Team to assist in all stages of the kombucha brewing process — from tea brewing and fermentation to bottling and packaging. This is a physical, practical role that would suit someone who enjoys working with their hands, takes pride in attention to detail, and is interested in fermentation or food and drink production.
Key Responsibilities
Assist with brewing large batches of tea and preparing ingredients
Help transfer kombucha between fermentation, mixing, and carbonation vessels
Support bottling, kegging, and labelling processes
Clean and sanitise brewing equipment and production areas to food-safe standards
Maintain detailed production records and follow procedures accurately
Assist with stock management and packaging organisation
Help load deliveries and prepare wholesale orders as needed
What We’re Looking For
A positive, reliable, and hard-working attitude
Ability to follow instructions and standard operating procedures
Physically fit and comfortable with manual work, lifting (up to 25kg), and being on your feet for long durations
Previous experience in brewing, food/drink production, or hospitality is a bonus — but not required
Interest in kombucha or fermentation is a plus
Must be over 18 and eligible to work in the UK
Having a UK Drivers licence and access to a vehicle is a must as we operate in a remote area where public transportation has limited accessibility.
Perks & Benefits
Free kombucha and staff discounts
£500 annual budget for work-related educational course/workshop of your choice (after 3-month probation)
Pension scheme
Opportunity to learn about fermentation, brewing, and food safety standards
Be part of a growing ethical business with a supportive, collaborative team
Potential for more hours and growth within the company as the business expands
