At Big Loaf, bread is made the slow way: long ferments & hand shaped.

We’re an artisan bakery working at production scale. That means maintaining the care and judgement of small‑batch baking while producing reliable volume, consistently, as a team. The pace is real, the standards are high and every loaf still matters.

As we grow, we’re looking for bakers who can hold their own, care about the details and take pride in doing things properly.

If you’ve been baking for a while but feel there’s another level of the craft still to discover, this could be where you find it.

We’re hiring across two shifts—2am and 10am starts — and are open to both experienced senior bakers and capable mid‑level bakers ready to take the next step.

What the work looks like

You’ll need to understand fermentation, respect timing and recognise when a dough isn’t behaving as it should.

- Mix, shape and bake artisan and specialty breads at production scale, with sourdough at the heart of what we do
- Follow recipes and production processes with precision and consistency
- Maintain quality and attention to detail across larger production runs




- Keep a clean, organised bakery with strong food‑safety discipline
- Work reliably as part of a shift team, where communication matters as much as craft
- Mentor developing bakers and contribute to recipe development if joining at senior level

What we’re looking for

Mid‑level baker

- Solid hands‑on experience producing artisan bread
- Confidence working with sourdough
- The ability to maintain quality, pace and consistency across larger production runs
- A reliable, team‑first approach
- A baking qualification or equivalent practical experience
- The ambition to keep learning and step up

Senior baker

- At least five years’ experience in an artisan production bakery
- Deep knowledge of sourdough, including fermentation, shaping and troubleshooting
- Experience leading or mentoring a small team
- The confidence and judgement to take ownership of a shift
- High standards, calm communication and a practical approach when things don’t go to plan
