Artisan Bread Baker (Night Shift)

📍 205 & 207 Coatsworth Road, Gateshead, NE8 1SR

⏰ Full Time, 36-48 Hours Per Week 🌙 Primarily Night Shifts, with flexibility for occasional day shifts

💷 £24,000 – £31,000+ depending on experience, skill level and what you bring to the team.

This role is all about bread.

We’re not looking for someone who has simply baked off frozen products or worked in a supermarket bakery.

We’re looking for a genuine artisan baker. Someone who lives and breathes sourdough, fermentation, shaping, scoring and baking. Someone who gets excited about crumb structure, hydration levels, long ferments and producing exceptional bread every single day.

If you love creating outstanding sourdoughs, baguettes, focaccia and artisan breads from scratch, we would love to hear from you.

Experience with laminated pastry and viennoiserie would be a huge advantage, but bread is our priority.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven artisan bread baking experience is essential. • Strong understanding of sourdough fermentation and bread production. • Experience hand shaping and baking artisan breads from scratch. • Pride in quality and consistency. • Ability to work independently and manage overnight production. • Positive attitude and desire to continually improve. • Experience with laminated pastry would be a major bonus.
