Full-Time Baker (Part-time considered)

We're looking for an ideally full-time baker to join our staff to work with both bread & pastry. We are an artisan bakery, with a focus on sourdough breads and locally milled grains. This position requires at least 1 year of professional baking experience.

General Job Description:     Primarily early morning (i.e. 3am-ish) baking & shaping assistance, as well as dough mixing etc. We can be fairly flexible with some scheduling, but early mornings on our business days (Wednesday, Friday, & Sunday) are what's really needed currently. Of course, there will be a range of other tasks as well, including general prep work, pastry projects, cleaning up after yourself, etc. - flexibility is important.

    Requirements:    

• -At least 1 year of professional baking experience with a basic knowledge of bread & pastry, and willingness to learn. General kitchen experience would be helpful as well.
• - Available to reliably work very early mornings & at least some weekends. Availability during the summer months and leading up to holidays (especially Thanksgiving) is also a concern.
• - Cleanliness & tidiness - follow all food safety regulations.
• - Ability to stand for up to 8-10 hours. Physical ability to take multiple trips up and down stairs to basement, and to lift 50lb bags of flour.
• - Ability to take direction but also work independently.
• - Ability to properly wear a mask throughout the shift (when required).
• - Must have an open mind, we're still a relatively young business and regularly making changes so we're open to fresh input & new ideas, but do have our own set style and specific methods to follow.

 

Schedule / Pay:     Schedule is somewhat flexible, but must include some very early mornings on business days (i.e. 3am start times) and some availability on weekends. Reasonable flexibility to accommodate the right person.   Pay commensurate with experience.

 

More about us:     We're a small retail bakery with just a handful of experienced employees on Broadway in Arlington - not far from the Somerville, Medford, Cambridge areas. Our focus is on sourdough breads, primarily using locally milled flours, but we also make a variety of pastries depending on the season and our current interests. We try to keep the workplace pretty casual (maybe even fun?) but with a serious attention to quality & consistency in the actual products.
