About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Production Baker to cover weekend production at our brand new King's Cross site. Weekends at this site are expected to be busy, so this isn't a light-touch role — you'll be running full production and holding the standard on your own, with the same level of independence and judgement we'd expect from our full-time baker. We need someone who's done this before and can walk in and run the shift with minimal hand-holding.
Responsibilities
- Bake and finish the full non-pastry production range on your working days — focaccia and other breads, scones, cookies, traybakes and cakes — to Luminary's standard, working to a tight schedule so the café case is fully stocked for opening.
- Bake, fill, crumb-coat and simply decorate cakes intended for slicing and selling in the café — a clean, consistent, ready-to-sell finish, not bespoke celebration-cake artistry.
- Support the café team with sandwich, salad and lunch-item prep and assembly during the busy midday service, helping the kitchen keep pace through the lunch rush.
- Act as the go-to person on shift for the wider kitchen team on your working days — coordinating tasks, resolving day-to-day issues, and keeping production moving without needing to escalate every decision.
- Maintain Luminary's quality, bake and finish standards across every product, batch after batch, even at high volume and under time pressure.
- Help plan and pace weekend production against likely demand at a site expected to sell out most days — flagging shortfalls early and adjusting batch sizes accordingly.
- Monitor day-to-day ingredient stock for production on your shift, flag replenishment needs early, and minimise waste through accurate batch planning.
- Uphold food hygiene, health and safety standards throughout a fast-paced working day, keeping the kitchen clean and organised.
- Work closely with the wider Luminary team so the café's full offering — pastry, bakery and lunch — runs as one smooth operation, even on days when you're the most senior person on the production floor.
Requirements
- Minimum 3 years' professional baking experience, ideally in a production or artisan bakery, covering breads, scones, cakes, cookies and traybakes.
- Confident, clean cake decorating skills for simple slice-and-sell cakes — crumb coats, smooth finishes, simple piping/decoration — rather than elaborate celebration-cake artistry.
- Comfortable working independently and being the senior person on the floor for the shift, without on-site backup from a manager for every decision.
- Proven ability to work quickly, cleanly and accurately under real time pressure, in a genuinely fast-paced kitchen.
- Well organised, able to manage multiple priorities and a tight production schedule at once.
- Physically able to lift and handle items weighing up to 50lbs (approx 23kg).
- Proof of the right to work in the UK.
- Reliably available for weekend shifts.
- Previous experience supervising or leading a shift or small team.
- Experience baking to supply a high-footfall, grab-and-go café.
- Background in, or genuine alignment with, social enterprise.
