ABOUT US

Freedom Bakery is an artisan bakery with a wholesale trade across Glasgow and the West of Scotland. As a social enterprise, we have spent over a decade working with individuals in the prison system, providing training and employment opportunities. In 2026, this work will expand further through the launch of a dedicated charity. Our bakery specialises in sourdough and slow-fermented breads, crafted primarily for the high-end restaurant sector and independent retailers. With a strong focus on quality, craftsmanship, and purpose, we have built a reputation for exceptional products with a meaningful social impact that have been rewarded at the BBC Food and Farming Awards and Slow Food Scotland.

The successful candidate will spend significant time on the bakery floor, working directly with the team, understanding problems, improving processes and ensuring agreed standards are followed.The role will become the CEO's operational No.2 and will have responsibility for managing the bakery production team.

Be comfortable taking responsibility for an established team where existing working practices need to change.
Be confident managing difficult conversations and addressing performance issues directly.
Be able to gain the respect of experienced employees without being intimidated by resistance to change.
Be practical and hands-on rather than purely managerial.
Have strong organisational and problem-solving skills.
Understand how to turn processes and procedures into everyday working practices.

Be commercially aware and understand the relationship between quality, productivity, capacity, customer satisfaction and sales.

EXPERIENCE:

Ideally:

Bakery production management experience.
Food manufacturing or food production experience.
Experience implementing quality and process improvement programmes.
Experience managing production teams.
