Sourdough Baker or Pastry Chef (daytime)
Join Our Purpose-Driven Organic Bakery in Torquay
We're looking for a passionate Sourdough Baker to join our small, skilled team on the Surf Coast.
Our bakery is built on purpose: we craft 100% Certified Organic sourdough bread and pastries using ethical ingredients sourced from farmers who care for the planet as much as we do.
This is more than a baking job- it's a chance to be part of something meaningful. We're seeking an Australian citizen or permanent resident who wants to work in a place where quality, sustainability, and team spirit matter.
This is a role where a desire to be the best, dedication to sourdough craft, excellence and desire for improvement go a long way - so far, that unskilled people including apprentices who possess these talents are encouraged to apply. If you're in this category, please expand on why you're suitable in your cover letter.
