Baker

A Baker prepares food items such as bread and pastries for sale in a bakery, grocery store, café or restaurant. You might specialise in gourmet bakery items or focus on basic bakery products. Bakers ensure they have appropriate ingredients and equipment and spend time managing stock levels. You may liaise with customers and communicate with suppliers.

Bakers must have good organisational skills and be able to handle several tasks at one time. It’s important you can communicate well and work as part of a team. Bakers should be focused on customer service and be able to prioritise tasks during busy times. Depending on your role, you may have to work irregular hours including early mornings and weekends.
