We're recruiting for an Operations Coordinator to join a small, growing, purpose-driven artisan bakery based in Lincolnshire. Operating from a modern site just outside Lincoln, this bakery supplies premium, handcrafted goods to high-end cafés, restaurants, and local events across the region.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a tight-knit, passionate team at a time of rapid growth. The business has doubled in size over the past year - and now needs someone like you to take the reins of day-to-day operational coordination, freeing up other staff to focus on growth and sales.

From route planning to stock control, invoice oversight to staff scheduling, you'll make sure every handcrafted product reaches its destination as beautifully as it left the oven.

Key Responsibilities

Coordinate daily production and delivery schedules
Plan efficient van routes and oversee dispatch
Manage ingredient purchasing and stock levels
Implement clear cut-offs and streamline order entry
Oversee invoicing using Xero (reducing manual error)
Support and schedule casual and core team staff
Troubleshoot issues calmly and proactively
Liaise with bakers to uphold product quality and consistency

Requirements

What You'll Bring

Operational experience within food, logistics, or hospitality
Comfortable with spreadsheets, stock systems, and delivery planning
A sharp eye for detail and a love of structure
Confidence to problem-solve and make things happen
Friendly, hands-on team spirit with a love for real food

Bonus Points If You Have:

Experience with Xero, CRM or inventory software
Experience coordinating teams or rotas
A genuine passion for artisan produce and independent food brands

What's In It For You

This is more than just a coordination role. You'll have the chance to shape how the business runs day to day, with real autonomy and room to grow. As the business scales, so will you - with a clear path toward a more senior Operations Manager position over time.

If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and play a key part in something truly special, we'd love to hear from you.
