• 20 days' holiday plus bank holidays, increasing by one day for each year of service, up to 25 days.
• AXA private healthcare cover and a NEST pension, increasing to 5% matched contributions after two years.
• 50% discount on food and drinks across the business.
• Free on-site parking at Carlton Park.
• The opportunity to influence product development, build your team and help expand production to supply customers beyond the existing coffee house network.

Your responsibilities as Bakery Manager

• Take ownership of daily production, planning schedules and coordinating orders to ensure all seven coffee houses receive fresh, high-quality products on time.
• Lead, train and develop the production team, supporting recruitment and creating a consistent, efficient working environment.
• Maintain high standards of food quality, presentation, hygiene and safety across the entire operation.
• Manage ingredients, stock levels and supplier orders, controlling waste and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency.
• Work closely with store managers, warehouse and central kitchen teams to maintain product availability and respond to customer feedback.
• Develop existing recipes and introduce new products, including seasonal ranges, while supporting plans to grow the external customer base.

What we're looking for in a Bakery Manager

• Strong commercial baking experience, ideally gained within a production environment supplying multiple outlets or customers.
• Previous experience supervising or managing a team, including training, production planning and performance management.
• Sound knowledge of food safety, hygiene, health and safety requirements and quality control.
• Experience managing stock, controlling waste and maintaining consistent product standards in a busy production setting.
• A full UK driving licence, access to your own vehicle and the ability to commute to Narborough, Leicester.

If you're ready to take ownership of an established operation and help a growing local business reach its next stage, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today for this Bakery Manager opportunity with JCH Food Services!
