Baker
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Brisbane, QLD, Australia · Full-Time · $75,000 - $85,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Proper bakers, this one is for you. A busy Brisbane bakery café makes all its bread, pastries and cakes in-house every day and turns out custom celebration cakes on order. It needs an experienced Baker, full-time and permanent, on 38 hours per week.
You will carry daily production and the finishing work on pastries and cakes. The business is established and growing, so there is real work here, not a quiet counter.
Overseas applicants are welcome, and visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate. Mzansi bakers with commercial experience should take a good look.
