Baker
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Brisbane, QLD, Australia · Full-Time · $75,000 - $85,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Every day, a bakery and café in Brisbane turns out fresh breads, pastries and cakes on its own premises, and it now needs an experienced full-time Baker. Besides the daily bake, the team makes custom cakes for celebrations, so the job combines routine production with careful finishing.
The role is permanent, at 38 hours per week, in a business that is established and expanding. Applicants from overseas are welcome, and a visa sponsorship can be offered to the right person.
A baker's CV works best when it is specific. Name the products you produce in volume, the pastry and cake decoration you have done, and any junior staff you have trained. Applicants working around Kampala or Entebbe can add their DIT certificate. Then use Build AI CV to put it together before you send your application.
