We’re looking for an experienced, creative Head Baker to lead the bakery operation at our Bread & Wine site.

This is a hands-on, senior role for someone confident across bread, viennoiserie (from-scratch lamination), cakes and cookies, with the experience to work at both batch scale and smaller, more detailed production. You’ll have real ownership of product, standards, and direction, while working closely with the Exec Chef and Managing Director as the concept continues to evolve.

The Role

As the Head Baker, you’ll be responsible for the day-to-day bakery operation at Bread & Wine, setting standards, driving creativity, and ensuring consistency across production.

While you’ll be based at Bread & Wine, the role also requires awareness of the wider bakery operation, including collaboration with the night baker team, ensuring alignment on quality, process, and output.

This is a role for someone who enjoys leading by example, staying close to the bench while thinking strategically about how the bakery develops.
