Collingwood Park, Queensland, Australia To Be Frank Bakery Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

To Be Frank Bakery

Lead our artisan bakery in Collingwood. Craft top-quality bread, manage a team, and drive innovation with purpose.

We're looking for a Head Baker to take the reins at our Collingwood bakery. If you know your way around wild fermentation, care deeply about great ingredients, and believe good bread takes time — we want to hear from you.

About the Role

As Head Baker, you'll take the lead in shaping our daily bread offering — both literally and figuratively. You'll oversee production, guide and mentor the baking team, manage operations, and ensure every loaf meets our high standards.

This is a hands-on leadership role where consistency, quality, and creativity go hand in hand.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading the day-to-day operations of the bakery team
  • Managing production quantities, minimising waste and ensuring adequate stock
  • Training and mentoring junior staff and apprentices
  • Planning bread menus and driving innovation while maintaining customer favourites
  • Costing and margin management for all products
  • Executing and coordinating wholesale orders
  • Maintaining a clean, safe and compliant work environment
  • Overseeing inventory, equipment maintenance and team scheduling

Who You Are

You're an experienced baker with a strong work ethic and a calm, confident leadership style. You're just as comfortable developing new products as you are fine-tuning a classic sourdough. You take pride in your work, lead by example, and bring positive energy to the team.

You'll need:

  • Certificate III in Baking (essential)
  • Minimum 2 years' experience in a Senior Baker or similar leadership role
  • A strong understanding of bakery operations and fermentation techniques
  • Great communication skills and the ability to manage a team effectively
  • Experience in managing production schedules, food safety, and cost controls
  • Additional leadership or management training is a plus

Why Join Us?

To Be Frank Bakery is a values-driven team committed to quality, sustainability, and doing things properly. We work with incredible local producers and believe in creating an environment where both people and good ideas can thrive.
