Senior Sourdough Baker

At 1816 Bakehouse, every loaf tells a story — slow-fermented, hand-shaped, baked on stone.

We're looking for a Senior Sourdough Baker to join our leadership team and help guide the next chapter of our bakehouse.

This is a hands-on role for a skilled baker who understands the rhythm of sourdough production and thrives in a collaborative environment where quality, consistency and calm leadership matter.

What you'll be doing

• Working within the leadership team to oversee daily production and maintain quality standards
• Managing fermentation schedules, dough development and bake times
• Supporting and mentoring bakers and apprentices
• Helping refine systems, recipes and processes as we grow
• Bringing new ideas to strengthen our range and efficiency

About you

You're an experienced baker with genuine respect for craft and the people behind it. You'll bring:

• Deep knowledge of naturally leavened bread and artisan techniques
• Strong organisational skills and an eye for detail
• The ability to lead by example while collaborating as part of a close team
• A calm, steady presence during early starts and busy days

What's on offer

• A senior position within a respected, growing regional bakery
• Opportunity to contribute to strategy, systems and product innovation
• Modern facilities, high-quality ingredients and supportive peers
• Stable hours, strong culture and a long-term future in the craft

If you believe in good bread, teamwork and genuine craftsmanship, we'd love to hear from you.
