Day Shift: 9:15am – 6:15pm | 9-Day Fortnight – Every Second Friday Off

Are you a baker or chef looking to step away from the early morning starts, weekend work and unpredictable rosters?

At Sara Lee, we're looking for a qualified baker or chef to join our growing Pastry team. This is a unique opportunity to use your baking skills in a modern food production environment while enjoying regular daytime hours, Monday to Friday, and every second Friday off.

As we expand our Pastry operation schedule, we're creating new opportunities for passionate bakers who want to apply their traditional baking skills in a large-scale food manufacturing environment.

The Role

This isn't your typical bakery job. - You'll use your baking knowledge to create quality pastry products on a larger scale, working with industrial mixing, sheeting and processing equipment. From preparing ingredients and developing dough to monitoring product quality throughout production, you'll play a key role in ensuring every batch meets Sara Lee's high standards.

Your day will include:

- Preparing and weighing ingredients to recipe specifications.

- Mixing and developing dough using commercial-scale equipment.

- Setting up and operating automated pastry production machinery.

- Monitoring dough quality, consistency and product standards throughout production.





- Making adjustments to ensure the best possible finished product.

- Working closely with your team to keep production running smoothly.

- Following food safety and quality standards.

What You'll Bring

- Trade qualification in Baking or Pastry (preferred).

- A passion for producing high-quality baked products.

- An understanding of dough development and baking processes.

- Experience in a commercial bakery or food production workplace.

- A willingness to learn automated bakery equipment.

- A positive attitude and a team-first approach.

Why You'll Love Working Here

- No 2:00am starts. No overnight shifts.

- Regular Monday to Friday hours – 9:15am to 6:15pm.

- Every second Friday off with our 9-day fortnight roster.

- Stable, permanent full-time employment.

- Modern bakery equipment and technology.

- Subsidised staff meals.

- Employee Assistance Program.

- Paid Picnic Day and public holidays off.

- Long service recognition.

And yes... you'll still be surrounded by plenty of cake!
