About the role

We're looking for a full-time Senior Sourdough Baker. You'll report to our Production Supervisor and be a key contributor to the daily running of our bread production.

You'll keep our much-loved product lines consistent and beautiful, and when the seasons turn or new ingredients come into play, we want you to help shape what comes next. This is a creative challenge as much as a production role.
