Baker
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Brisbane, QLD, Australia · Full-Time · $75,000 - $85,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
A busy Brisbane bakery and café that bakes everything fresh each morning is looking for a Baker with real hands-on experience. Bread, pastries and cakes come out of its ovens daily, and the shop also takes custom celebration cake orders, so you would move between everyday production and finished decorative work. It is a permanent, full-time position of 38 hours a week with an established business that is still growing.
The business welcomes overseas applicants, and the right candidate can be offered visa sponsorship.
Before you apply, put the hands-on side of your baking on one page: what you have baked, any decorating or fondant work, and any time spent training junior staff. If you bake in Nairobi or Mombasa, add your NITA trade test certificate if you have one. Build AI CV can turn those details into a clear, job-ready CV.
