A&J King Bakery, Salem MA is hiring

If anyone loves bread, it’s this girl. Too bad I can’t bake that well. Can you? If so, check out A&J King Bakery in Salem, MA because they are hiring!

Per their job listing on Craigslist:

“A&J King Artisan Bakers is looking for a FULL TIME bread baker to kick butt into the evening with our swashbuckling Bread Baking Crew. We are looking to start training when we find the right candidate.

We are an award-winning artisan bakery specializing in hearth baked breads such as sourdoughs, baguettes, ciabatta, and whole grains as well as hand rolled croissants, muffins, scones, cookies, tarts and seasonal desserts. All of our products are made fresh daily from scratch ingredients. We source locally and regionally whenever possible. We also offer espresso and sandwiches in our café and run a small wholesale program providing breads and pastries to area restaurants and shops. Winner of Best of Boston in 2009 and 2012 as well as Best of North Shore every year since 2008. But enough about us.

 

POSITION DETAILS:

* Bread shifts start at 11am, 1pm, 4:30pm, and 6pm. Applicants should have availability for any of these shifts, as well as any day of the week. Every shift is its own animal. Be flexible!

* Mix, shape, and bake sourdoughs, grain breads, and any special bread of the day to bakery standard

* Mix and shape doughs using artisan mixing techniques (autolyse, folding, preshaping, shaping various standard shapes, etc)

* Prep work as necessary for various bakery products

* Standard post-shift bakery cleaning duties including weekly deep clean.

 

APPLICANT MUST:

* Have previous food service experience. Bakery experience a plus but not a must – we can train the right applicant. NOTE: Home baking is amazing and wonderful (we wrote a book on it!) but is NOT considered food service experience.

* Have a driver’s license

* Be excited and passionate about food

* Be able to carry 50lbs, stand on their feet for 8 hours in a potentially hot environment, and load/unload oven using a peel

* Be a friendly team player – we work close together. No jerks.

* Be able to take constructive criticism and work to improve their craft

* Be able to multitask, prioritize, and work independently

 

Our bakery is made up of a wide range of people. We have musicians, artists, parents, designers, career bakers, culinary grads, former baristas…all of whom have an interest in the craft of baking amazing bread and pastry. If you’re looking for somewhere to learn and develop the skills necessary to create a world-class artisan product, come join us.
