  • Training and upskilling bakers on techniques and workflows 

  • Collaborating with production and development teams on new recipes 

 

🥖 What You Bring 

  • 3+ years in a high-volume production bakery 

  • Deep knowledge of doughs, pastries, and baking science 

  • Experience with mixers, ovens, proofers and more 

  • Strong leadership and problem-solving skills 

  • Full understanding of food safety and H&S regulations 

  • Flexibility with early mornings, late finishes, and weekends 

 

🎁 What’s in It for You 

  • £35,000 - £38,000

  • Opportunities for career growth and development 

  • A supportive, skilled team environment 

  • Staff discounts and other perks
