Artisan Baker | Digbeth, Birmingham | £35,000

What’s in it for the successful Artisan Baker?

• £35,000 per annum
• 45 hours per week
• Monday to Friday in the main, with weekends off

• Free parking on site
• Staff meals on every shift
• Hand production, craft baking rather than a production line
• A settled, consistent rota you can build a life around

Tonic are searching for an Artisan Baker to join our client’s bakery team in Digbeth, Birmingham. This is a hands-on craft role, working with real doughs and hand production, and you will be baking to standards and recipes that are already established rather than setting them yourself. Starts are at 4am, earlier if you prefer to get ahead, and the week runs Monday to Friday with weekends off in the main. There will be occasional flexibility needed when the business demands it, but the pattern is settled and predictable, which is rare in this trade. If you have served your time in a craft bakery and want to get your hands in dough without carrying the responsibility of running the place, this is worth a conversation.

What are we looking for from Artisan Baker candidates?

• Time served experience as a baker within an artisan or craft bakery
• Confident working from scratch, mixing, shaping, proving and baking, with a genuine understanding of how dough behaves
• Comfortable with a 4am start and the discipline of a bakery production day
• Consistent and methodical, with the standard identical every single day
• Happy working to someone else’s recipes and specifications
• Strong on food safety, allergen management and hygiene standards
• A CV that demonstrates loyalty to previous employers
