Chef (Full Time)

About the role

Due to an increase in demand for our fantastic products and expansion to our brand new location in Harrow, we are recruiting a full time chef.

You will be responsible for baking both our delicious part-baked and fresh products ready for the day ahead. You will also be responsible for preparing sandwiches and pizza.

You will learn and come to know our products, recipes, methods and schedules inside out, and follow them at all times to ensure that our customers have a consistent experience, each and every time they taste our beautiful bakes.

Additional duties include:

· Stock rotation and management

· Managing deliveries

· Preparing shelves in store

· Cleaning as you go to maintain health, safety and food hygiene standards

About you

We are looking for diligent and self-motivated individuals with previous kitchen experience who relish working in a busy, fast paced environment having had similar experience in a similar role or organisation. Prior experience in a bakery environment is advantageous but not essential as long as you possess a drive to learn and gain new skills.

Teamworking, reliability and punctuality are key requirements for this role to ensure that our retail team are prepared for the day ahead and to meet customer expectations. Your passion for great food should be evident and with no two days being the same, adaptability is also key.

About us

Nestled in the hustle and bustle of Borough Market, Bread Ahead’s journey began in 2013 when founder Matthew Jones, having spent 25 years in the restaurant industry decided it was time to focus on great baking and great products! We have enjoyed a steady growth and expanded locally throughout London with stores in Chelsea, Wembley and Soho, as well as our debut international outpost in Dubai.

We opened our flagship bakery school in Borough Market in 2014 to show the public just how easy baking good bread can be. Since early 2020, Bread Ahead Bakery School has reached thousands of homes through our online baking classes which have become a treasured part of kitchens all over the world! We’ve grown to become a destination for both Londoners and foodies across the globe.

But we are just getting started! With more London locations planned alongside further international expansion, we’re at an exciting point in the development of our team and we’re looking for like-minded people who are as passionate about food and hospitality as we are.
