Part time & full time opportunities available
The perfect role for a hugely passionate foodie looking to develop their skills in the kitchen, working closely alongside the head chef.
Ideal candidates would include adventurous and enthusiastic home cooks, individuals having recently completed their catering qualification at college, or chefs wanting a step back from the heat and pressures of full-blown restaurant service.
You will need to have a real interest in seasonality as well provenance, fermentation, pickling and other preserving methods and be prepared to get stuck into running all aspects of a busy kitchen.

NIGHT BAKER
As a well-recognised award-winning artisan bakery based in the heart of the City of Bath we are now looking for new talent to head up our baking.
The ideal candidate for this job will be someone:
- who is creative and always wanting to learn and better themselves: there is a great opportunity in this role for product development, our customers love seeing new creations
- who is hard-working: bread baking is not for the faint-hearted. You have to be prepared to graft, and this also means working nights, it comes with the territory
- able to work independently: in time you will run shifts single handedly so experience of everything from dough work to shaping and baking and everything else in between is a plus
- who is collaborative: working with the chef to come up with new breads and bakery goods to form part of regular lunch specials
If you are looking for an environment where it is less about the volume and more about the quality then you may well be a good fit.
Please note: This is a night-baking role, with hours typically 8pm until morning, working monday - friday. Please consider this before applying for the role.
Hours: 45hrs a week, currently Monday - Friday
Pay: Negotiable depending on experience.
Please apply by emailing duncan@thoughtfulbakery.co.uk with as much background information as possible.
FULL AND PART TIME BARISTA & FRONT OF HOUSE POSITIONS
We have a couple of full and part-time front of house roles. You would need to be comfortable working in a busy cafe environment. Barista experience is a plus but not essential.
When applying please detail any previous experience and please ensure you detail your availability to work or any commitments outside of work which would make you unavailable.
Pay: Negotiable depending on experience.
Please apply by emailing duncan@thoughtfulbakery.co.uk with as much background information as possible.
