Belmont Children's Farm
The Ridgeway, Mill Hill, London, NW7 1QT
SET IN A HIDDEN VALLEY
We are looking for an experienced, passionate and creative baker to take on our fully equipped bakery at Belmont Children's Farm and bring it to life.
The bakery is currently closed, making this a genuine opportunity for the right person to come in, help shape the offering from the outset and create something of their own within an already established destination.
This is not simply a position for someone looking to turn up and follow an existing formula. We are looking for someone who loves their craft and wants the opportunity to take ownership of a bakery, develop their own ideas and help create something people genuinely want to return to.
The space and equipment are already here. What we need is the right person to bring the energy, knowledge and creativity.
Imagine the smell of freshly baked bread and pastries in the morning, excellent coffee being served alongside them, families stopping in after visiting the farm or dropping their children off at Belmont Farm Nursery School, and local customers coming back because they know they can always find something fresh and delicious.
We want the bakery to become a destination in its own right.
Set within Belmont Children's Farm's hidden valley, the bakery has the opportunity to serve families visiting the farm as well as the diverse communities and local residents surrounding us. We are looking for someone who understands the importance of creating an offering that is welcoming, thoughtful and appealing to a broad range of customers.
You will have the freedom and opportunity to help shape the bakery - from the products and daily offering to new ideas and seasonal specials - while working alongside a hands-on owner who enjoys being involved and developing ideas together.
We are looking for someone who:
- Is an experienced and highly capable baker
- Takes genuine pride in their craft
- Has creativity, initiative and an entrepreneurial mindset
- Understands quality, consistency and presentation
- Has strong knowledge of food hygiene and food safety practices
- Understands HACCP principles, allergen management, cross-contamination and temperature control
- Holds relevant food hygiene/food safety qualifications or certification, or can demonstrate equivalent appropriate training and experience
- Can take responsibility for maintaining excellent hygiene, food safety and operational standards
- Can take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the bakery
- Has the confidence and experience to help recruit, train and manage a team
- Can help develop menus, manage ordering, stock and suppliers, and organise staff rotas
- Understands that great hospitality is about giving people a reason to come back
- Wants to build something, rather than simply step into another job
The bakery is here. The equipment is here. The opportunity is here.
We are looking for the person who can bring it to life.
