Norma’s Deli is looking for a creative, driven Pastry Chef to join our bakery team and help shape our pastry and cake offering.

Working closely with our Head Baker, you’ll create the highest quality pastries and cakes to be sold across our unique venue and catering. This is a great prospect to have real input into our menu, from assisting in developing seasonal recipes to bringing fresh ideas to the table.

About Us

Located in the heart of Manly, Norma is serving breakfast and lunch to locals and visitors from abroad. Step down into the deli, and you will be greeted by the warmth of the working kitchen and hit with the smell of freshly baked cakes.

Norma serves something for any occasion and all times of the day. Think heirlooms so glossy you'll catch your reflection, sandwiches so jam-packed they toe the line between lunch and dinner and lemon tart cakes torched in front of your eyes.

What you’ll be doing

As a pastry chef at Norma's, your day-to-day will look like:
Assisting in developing and planning new recipes for our menu and seasonal offerings
Daily production, baking and preparation of pastry products for dine-in, takeaway and catering
Making sure every product meets our standards for quality, consistency and presentation
Keeping the bakery spotless, organised and well presented




Ordering, organising and rotating stock, and monitoring ingredient levels
Running cost-effective operations without compromising quality
Assisting in the training and development of junior pastry chefs & kitchen hands
Leading by example on WHS and food safety, including risk assessments, safety inspections and secure work practices

What we’re looking for
3+ years’ experience as a Pastry Chef or in a similar role
A genuine passion for baking, pastry and cakes
Someone who works brilliantly under pressure
Highly organised, productive and reliable
A strong commitment to health and hygiene standards
A team player who can both give and take direction
Current First Aid Certificate (or willingness to obtain)

Why join us?
A supportive, passionate team
Extensive perks across the group including development opportunities, discounts on your lunch and on our products on your days off across Norma's and our sister venues

If this sounds like you, apply now with your resume and a short cover letter telling us about your favourite thing to bake. We’d also love to see photos of your work.
