This position is best suited to a qualified baker or an experienced bakery worker who is already confident working in production. We are specifically looking for someone who understands the pace, organisation and consistency required in a busy bread bakery.

- Keeping the Oven area clean, organised and running efficiently





You will work from our daily production sheets and alongside the rest of the baking team to ensure the full production run is completed accurately and on time.

This is a hands-on production role, so you must be comfortable working at a fast pace, managing your section and taking responsibility for the quality of the products you produce.

- Is reliable and punctual, particularly for early morning starts

- Works efficiently without compromising product quality

- Has strong food safety and cleanliness standards

- Communicates well and works as part of a production team

- Takes pride in producing consistent, high-quality bread

Early morning starts are an essential part of this position, and weekend availability will be required depending on the roster.

What We Offer

You will be joining an established bakery team with the chance to continue developing your skills across different areas of production.

We provide training on our Bakers Delight products, production systems and equipment, along with ongoing support and development.

For the right person, there are opportunities to take on greater responsibility and continue progressing within our bakery group.
