Vancouver, Canada Bakery by Jany Full time

We’re looking for a Head Baker to lead production at our specialty gluten-free bakery & coffee shop. This role is perfect for an experienced baker who loves crafting high-quality pastries, breads, and cakes — and wants to take ownership of the kitchen so the owner can step into a creative/strategic role.

What you’ll do
- Lead daily production of our core menu (breads, cakes, pastries, seasonal items, wholesale batches).
- Train, supervise, and support a baker assistant to keep production smooth and on schedule.
- Plan and organize baking schedules to meet daily café service, custom orders, and wholesale deliveries.
- Oversee quality control, consistency, and presentation of all baked goods.
- Manage ingredient inventory: track stock levels, let the owner know what to reorder, minimize waste.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organized kitchen that meets food safety standards.
- Operate commercial baking equipment (mixers, ovens, sheeters, etc.) safely and efficiently.
- Lift and move flour bags and supplies up to 25 kg when needed.

We’re looking for someone who
- Has 3+ years of professional baking experience (gluten-free experience is an asset but not required).
- Is confident working with breads, cakes, pastries, and laminated doughs.
- Can lead and mentor an assistant while maintaining high standards.
- Understands production scheduling and can work efficiently in a busy bakery.
- Is physically able to handle the demands of the job (lifting, standing long hours).
- Brings reliability, initiative, and pride in their craft.

Schedule
- Full-time, early mornings preferred. Weekend availability required.

Why join us
- Be part of a creative, growing local brand known for high-quality gluten-free baked goods.
- Opportunity to bring your skills, take ownership of the kitchen, and help shape production systems.
- Staff discounts & supportive small team culture.

Pay: From $17.85 per hour

Expected hours: 30 - 40 per week
