About Dougies Goodies Bakery:

At Dougies Goodies Bakery, we’re on a mission to make life a little sweeter—one scrumptious goodie at a time! Whether it’s our famous buns or our custom cakes that turn any celebration into a party, we’re all about baking up joy and creating moments worth savouring.

Job Description:

As a Bakery Operative (or as we like to call it, The Baker’s Right-Hand Hero), you’ll be the unsung hero of our bakery, helping our bakers as they bake our famous cakes and bakes. Think of yourself as the glue that holds the bakery together!

Responsibilities:

1. Helping Hands: Assist bakers with daily tasks — from passing the flour to saving the last tray of cupcakes from overbaking.
2. Prep Pro: Weighing and prepping ingredients, baking simple recipes such as our famous icing, creams and jellies to ensure our bakers are always good to go!
3. Dish Duty: Keeping our trays, bowls, and utensils sparkling like they’ve just stepped out of a dishwasher commercial.
4. Clean-Up Crew: Sweeping away stray sprinkles and mopping up any frosting mishaps. No one likes a sticky floor!
5. Organisation Extraordinaire: Keeping things neat and tidy, so our bakers can focus on creating their masterpieces.

About You:

• You’re not afraid to get your hands dirty (with flour, we promise!).
• You’re ambitious and eager to learn and expand in your role.
• You’ve got a knack for organisation – you know where everything goes, and you keep it spotless.
• You’re reliable, quick on your feet, and ready to help with a smile.
• A love for all things sweet wouldn’t hurt either!

Perks of the Job:

• The sweet smell of freshly baked goods every day. Who needs perfume?
• Free tea, coffee, and maybe even a cheeky pastry or two.
• Joining a fun, energetic team that works hard but knows how to have a laugh.
• Did we mention the free baked goods?
