Artisan Bread Baker; Night Shift

Full-time Permanent Entry Level

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.

Savour Bakery Café & Patisserie is one of the North East’s most exciting independent bakeries. We produce artisan breads, viennoiserie, pâtisserie, chocolates and speciality coffee, with a focus on quality, craftsmanship and creativity.

We are growing rapidly and building a team of talented people who are passionate about their craft.

• Mixing, fermenting, shaping and baking artisan sourdoughs, baguettes, focaccia and speciality breads.
• Managing fermentation schedules and dough development.
• Producing consistently exceptional products every day.
• Assisting with croissants, Danish pastries and other laminated products where required.
• Maintaining high standards of organisation, cleanliness and food safety.
• Working closely with the wider bakery team to ensure smooth production.

• 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.

• Work with premium ingredients and professional equipment.
• Be part of a growing bakery with ambitious expansion plans.
• Learn from a talented and passionate team.
• Genuine opportunities for progression and development.
• Create products you’ll be proud to put your name to.

If you’re the sort of baker who talks about hydration percentages, fermentation times and flour blends over dinner, we want to hear from you.
