Why work for us?

Sourdough Sophia is truly a bakery born in the community. During lockdown we set up a micro
bakery from our dining room and founded Sourdough Sophia to change the way in which us Brits
consume bread one loaf at a time.

Within a couple of weeks we attracted huge queues down the road from our little flat and quickly
ran out of space. So, with the help of a successful kickstarter campaign and nearly 600 backers
from the local community, we opened the doors to our bakery in 2020, only 8 months after we
baked our very first loaf.

Before we opened, we made the firm commitment to bake the most delicious sourdough, serve
the most incredible coffee alongside our delicious bakes and level up how we treat our staff by
creating a positive and supportive working environment for all. Well, now that we've been serving
and inspiring the community for over 3 years now, we need someone to come onboard and drive
our business to the next level!

Our priority is people.

Sourdough Sophia is family first. Everyone in our team in valued, supported, loved and their
progress is nurtured. Our mission is to fix the way in which staff are treated in the hospitality
industry. Working in hospitality is always going to be hard, but it shouldn't be unfair. We believe
that hard work done the right way can be the most rewarding experience for you.

We are set to do things differently. Fair pay, supportive and positive working environment in which
you can feel safe to take risks, make mistakes and learn.

We are set to expand over the coming years and we are looking for incredible talent to help us
achieve our ambitious goals! Help us fix the way in which we perceive bread in society and fix the
broken food system together, one loaf at a time!

Join our team, and you will:

Be part of a skilled team with a detailed understanding of baking, cooking, hospitality and

coffee

Have excellent opportunities for career progression in a company with big goals.
Be given paid training opportunities
Enjoy staff perks, including staff massage, paid sick leave, free lunch, free coffee, pastries and

bread every day, access to specialist third-party staff wellbeing services and more.

Why this role?

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get stuck into a growing brand, work with our team of
bakers and build new relationships with the locals. Our site in Essex road is an absolutely
amazing, and inspiring space to visit for our customers but also an incredible place to work! This
is the perfect role for someone experienced in sourdough baking, with a passion for leading a
great team, driving our business and products to the next level. You will have the opportunity to
use your talent, experience and initiative to have input in shaping the space and operations of our
new site, develop new relationships with local customers, flex your baking skills, and truly be
proud of your creations! Along with the support of our leadership team and the owners, you will
get the chance to make your mark on this wonderful and fast growing business.
