Akimbo Bread
We're a quality‐focused sourdough bakery in Northcote seeking an experienced baker to play a key role in our production. This is a hands‐on position for someone confident in fermentation, dough handling, and maintaining consistency at scale, within a small, skilled team.
Sourdough Program
* High‐quality sourdough program – strong focus on fermentation, consistency, and detail
* Small, tight‐knit team – collaborative, low‐ego environment with high standards
* Real input into the bake – opportunity to refine processes and contribute to the bread program and beyond
We're a small, quality‐driven bakery in Northcote with a strong focus on well‐made bread, thoughtful products, and a constantly evolving offering.
The Role
* Early (ish) starts (approx. 4:30–5:00am)
* 4‐day weeks (including at least one weekend day)
* Hands‐on across mixing, shaping and baking
* Involvement in savoury prep and components beyond the bread
* Opportunity to contribute to new products and recipe development
* Helping maintain consistency and flow across the bake
We're looking for someone who:
* Has solid experience working with sourdough in a production environment
* Works cleanly, efficiently, and without needing their hand held
* Has good instincts on the bench and can make calls when needed
* Takes pride in consistency, detail, and well‐run systems
* Is interested in contributing ideas (and seeing them through)
What We Offer
* A secure, long‐term role in a focused, quality‐first environment
* A small, tight‐knit team who care about what they're doing (and each other, most of the time)
* Genuine input into products, systems, and how things run
* Staff perks and a supportive workplace
If this sounds like your kind of thing, send through a bit about your experience and a resume.
