Baker — Morning & Afternoon Shifts Big Loaf Factory Bakery · Perth, WA · Full-time
At Big Loaf, bread is made the slow way. Long ferments. Hand shaping. Real sourdough. We run a serious production kitchen in Perth's artisan scene and we're growing — which means we need bakers who can hold their own and take pride in doing things properly.
If you've been baking but feel like there's a whole dimension of the craft you haven't touched yet — this is where you find it.
We're hiring across two shifts — 2am start and 10am start — and we're open to both experienced senior bakers and solid mid-level bakers who are ready to step up.
What the work looks like
Our workflow runs on cold retard — afternoon shapes, morning bakes. You need to understand fermentation, respect timing, and know what it means when a dough isn't right.
Mix and bake artisan and specialty breads — sourdough is our foundation
Follow recipes and production procedures with precision and consistency
Maintain a clean, organised kitchen with real food safety discipline
Work as a reliable part of a shift team — communication matters as much as craft
Senior bakers: mentor junior team members and contribute to recipe development
What we're looking for
Mid-level baker:
Solid hands-on experience with artisan bread
Comfortable with sourdough production
Reliable, fast-paced, team-first mindset
Baker qualification or equivalent experience
Senior baker:
5+ years in an artisan production environment
Deep sourdough knowledge — fermentation, shaping, troubleshooting
Experience leading or mentoring a small team
Can own a shift independently
What we offer
Competitive salary, reviewed against your experience and role
Real growth pathways — we promote from within
A team that takes bread seriously and has each other's backs
Staff discounts across all Big Loaf venues
