If you are ready to bring your baking skills to our team, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity!
So, you have made it this far in the job description. We are after experienced applicants with bread baking experience, placing sausage rolls in a hot counter at a service station is not classed as baking experience, so please think carefully before you apply for this role. By experienced, we really mean experienced, you have to actually worked as a bread baker, not a hod carrier looking for a new carrier.
We do check all applicants employment history, so claiming you have worked at a bakery in London for the past five years, when in actual fact they have no record of you is a waste of time.
Many thanks
