At Geary's, we’re on a crusade to make proper bread more accessible to more people. We’re passionate about re-imagining the way Great Britain thinks about their everyday loaf. This passion is at the heart of everything we do, and have done, since 1906.

We are born and bred in Leicestershire and proud of our long-standing heritage. Today, we operate from two sites on a 24/7 operation. We’re made up of over 200 people: a friendly, diverse, and outgoing team, passionate about making a difference to the bakery industry.

We provide full training and support, and the chance to learn new skills from some of the best master bakers in the country. We invest in those who are committed to our craft and offer great opportunities to develop into supervisory and management roles. Our brilliant benefits include free delicious bread and a Cycle to Work scheme.

Plus, if you refer a friend to join our team, you could earn up to GBP500!

About You

At Geary's, we look for people who show up every day to do their best. We’re a passionate, friendly team and look for the same qualities in our new recruits. We firmly believe your attitude and approach is just as important (if not, more so) than the skills and experience on your CV.

What we’re looking for:

• Great communication skills (we love to have a chat)
• A passion to learn and develop
• Resilience and tenacity to drive motivation
• Experience in food manufacturing (even better if it was in a bakery)
• Good understanding of Food Safety and Health and Safety (the important bits!)
• Experience in leading and supporting a team of people (no matter how big or small)
• Flexible approach to working hours

Desirable but not essential:

Experience in manufacturing (even better if it was in a bakery)
