There is something special about walking into a supermarket and seeing a bakery section full of products made fresh that morning, on site. At Fendalton Freshchoice, that happens because of one person. They are currently looking for a Sole Charge Baker to take ownership of their bakery department, working Sunday to Thursday. This is a full-time role where you are not just baking you are managing orders, monitoring inventory, ensuring quality and visual appeal, and making decisions that directly impact customer experience. If you have several years of supermarket bakery experience and are ready to run your own department with a high degree of autonomy, this could be the perfect fit. You will be the only baker on shift, so reliability, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality are absolutely essential.

Qualifications
We are looking for someone with several years of experience working in a supermarket bakery role—this is not an entry-level position. You need to be comfortable working independently, as you will be the sole person in the department Sunday through Thursday. A proven ability to analyse data and make informed decisions about ordering and inventory is essential. You should be flexible and adaptable, with a keen eye for detail and a genuine commitment to quality. A passion for the retail industry and a drive to deliver an exceptional customer experience will set you apart. If you take pride in your craft and want ownership over your department, this role is for you.
Benefits and Perks
This role offers an hourly rate between $30 and $35, depending on experience. You will have genuine autonomy to run the bakery department your way, with the support of a store management team that values your expertise. The schedule is Sunday to Thursday, giving you a consistent routine and weekends off. You will be working in a smaller store where your contribution is visible and appreciated, and where you can build relationships with regular customers who appreciate quality baking. This is a key role that directly contributes to the overall success and customer experience of Fendalton Freshchoice.
