Head Pastry Chef – Menu Development + Lamination + Team Leadership
Dodough Pastry is looking for an experienced and creative Head Pastry Chef to join our small, quality-focused team in East Perth.
This is a rare opportunity to lead a boutique bakery that values creativity, consistency and a sustainable workload.
Why this role is different
This is not a high-volume, overtime-heavy bakery.
Our workload is steady, structured and manageable, allowing you to focus on:
- quality and product consistency
- creative menu development
- leading and mentoring the pastry team
- communicating effectively with our café & catering teams
- building the next stage of our brand
We want someone who enjoys craftsmanship and leadership — not burnout.
About the Role
Your responsibilities will be balanced across:
• Menu Development (20%)
- Seasonal menu planning and R&D
- Creating new pastries aligned with the Dodough brand
- Testing, tastings and refinement
• Production & Lamination (50%)
- Leading daily production
- Strong croissant and lamination experience essential
- Managing workflow, prep, scaling, baking and QC
- Maintaining product consistency and efficiency
• Team Leadership & Cross-team Communication (30%)
- Guiding and supporting the pastry team
- Supporting ongoing chef development and maintaining team standards
- Maintaining kitchen systems, standards and culture
- Working closely with the Owner on planning and improvements
- Clear and reliable communication with our café teams & catering team
(for daily coordination, catering production, timing, and quality control)
Who We're Looking For
Someone with:
- 3–7 years experience in high-end boutique bakeries
- Strong dough & lamination skills
- Experience leading or supervising a pastry team
- Calm, organised and positive communication style
- Ability to collaborate well with multiple teams (pastry, café, catering)
- Passion for creativity and flavour development
- Consistency, ownership and a strong eye for detail
If you've worked in high-volume environments and want a more balanced, creative and sustainable role — this could be the perfect fit.
Work Conditions
- Full-time role
- Day shifts only
- Predictable hours and structured production
- No overtime-heavy schedule
- Warm, supportive small team environment
How to Apply
Please send your CV (and portfolio, if available) through SEEK or to:
[email address]
We look forward to meeting someone who wants to grow with us and help shape the next stage of Dodough Pastry.
