Master Every Skill in Our Artisan Kitchen
About the Role:Are you tired of being just a number in a production line?
At Van Wegen's, we do things differently.
We are a tight-knit, specialized team where everyone plays a vital role in the craft.
We are seeking motivated individuals to join us as apprentice bakers at all levels—whether you're taking your first step into a kitchen or you're a 2nd or 3rd-year apprentice ready to master sourdough and pastry.
Why Our Small Team is Your Big Advantage:Unlike large commercial bakeries where you might be stuck on one station for months, our small-team environment ensures you get hands-on experience across the entire shop.
You won't just be "the dough person" or "the oven person"—you will master the trade from end-to-end:
The Art of Sourdough:Manage starters, hydration levels, and technical hand-shaping.
Artisan Pastry & Fillings:Craft our signature gourmet pies and danishes entirely from scratch.
Total Production:Manage the bake from raw ingredients to the final golden crust.
What We Offer
True Cross-Training:A guarantee that you will rotate through all sections of the bakery to become a truly well-rounded tradesperson.




Direct Mentorship:Work side-by-side with senior bakers who know your name and are personally invested in your professional growth.
Advanced Craft:No shortcuts.
Learn traditional, time-honored techniques using the finest ingredients.
Real Growth opportunities:We don't just hire workers; we train future leaders and tradespeople for our growing bakery.
Who We Are Looking For
New Apprentices:Passionate beginners eager to learn the craft the right way from day one.
2nd & 3rd Year Apprentices:Experienced learners looking to escape the "one-section" trap and broaden their technical skill set.
The Right Attitude:Team players who take pride in every loaf, aren't afraid of early starts, and bring a creative energy to the kitchen.
About Us:Van Wegen's Artisan Pies and Sourdough is dedicated to creating the Sunshine Coast's best artisan baked goods.
We offer a friendly, collaborative environment where your contribution to the team is noticed and valued every single day.
