Experienced Baker – Lavender’s Bakery
Location: Cornwall Salary: £13.30 to £14.30 per hour (based on experience) Job Type: Permanent, Minimum 30 hours per week
About Lavender's Bakery
Lavender’s Bakery has been a proud part of Cornwall’s baking history for decades. We are a traditional, family-run business that cares deeply about making proper Cornish pasties, saffron buns, and high-quality bread. We use time-honoured methods and local ingredients because we believe in doing things right.
We are currently looking for an experienced Baker to join our team. If you are tired of factory-style production lines or exhausting six-day rotas with 1 am starts, we offer a better way to work. We value your skills and want you to have a life outside of the bakery.
The Role
You will be completely hands-on, making sure our shops are stocked with fresh, quality bakes every morning.
- Weighing ingredients, mixing doughs, hand-shaping, and baking a range of breads, rolls, and traditional Cornish goods.
- Keeping our high quality standards consistent on every single shift.
- Working alongside a friendly team, while being confident enough to run your own section independently.
What We Offer
- Sensible Hours: A guaranteed minimum of 30 hours a week, giving you proper rest and a healthy work-life balance compared to the usual bakery slog.
- A Real Family Feel: We are a welcoming, traditional Cornish bakery, not a faceless commercial factory.
- Staff Perks: Generous staff discount on our food, plus free food while you are on shift.
- Security: Company sick pay and a permanent contract.
What You Need
- At least 2 years of commercial bread making or baking experience.
- A genuine interest in producing high-quality food.
- Reliability and punctuality for early morning shifts.
- The ability to reliably commute to our bakery in Cornwall.
Pay: £13.30-£14.30 per hour
Benefits:
- Discounted or free food
- Employee discount
- Store discount
Work Location: In person
