Why this Role: We’re a small artisan bakery offering the kind of role you’d typically have to move to the city for. You’ll be working alongside passionate bakers to shape a fresh, vibrant space and bring beautiful pastries to life each day. Experience in viennoiserie is desirable, but not essential. If you’ve got the skill, drive, and passion to grow, we want to hear from you. You’ll thrive here if you love working as part of a close-knit team, care deeply about quality, and are excited to be involved in a growing, independent business. You’ll be encouraged to bring your own ideas, use your initiative, and take real pride in your craft, whether that’s refining our existing offer, shaping operations, or putting your creative stamp on daily production. With the support of our leadership team and owners, this is a chance to grow with a business that values quality, integrity, and great people.

- Working as part of the pastry team to produce a range of high-quality items from cakes to shaping and laminating dough to making fillings and everything in between.
- Prepping, cleaning, and organising ingredients to ensure a smooth workflow.
- Collaborating with your team and leadership to develop new ideas, contribute to recipe innovation, and help plan future production.
- Maintaining a clean, organised, and food-safe kitchen at all times, upholding the highest hygiene standards.
- Supporting a positive working environment by giving and receiving feedback with kindness and clarity.
- Taking ownership of your learning and development; always looking to grow your skills and confidence.
- Staying on top of essential admin tasks like fridge temperature logs and general food safety record-keeping.
Desirable Traits We’re Looking For
- Experience in a professional kitchen or bakery setting.
- A solid understanding of pastry techniques including shaping, laminating, and fillings preparation.
- The ability to produce cakes/cookies on a large scale in a timely manner.
- Confidence working with production schedules and kitchen workflows.
- Methodical, reliable, and detail-focused.
- Genuinely passionate about creating delicious pastries and cakes, and excited to be part of a team that shares that energy.
- Curious, driven, and ready to take ownership of your development.
- A kind, communicative teammate who’s comfortable giving and receiving feedback.
