Position Overview & Specifications
Do you have experience working in a café or bakery?
Are you a dynamic team player looking for a new challenge?
If your answer to both of these questions was yes, then we would love to have a chat!
Poppy’s is the new artisan bakery that recently opened its doors in the heart of Enfield. We’re a novel independent venture, founded by three friends who came together to create a modern business adhering to the values of traditional greek hospitality.
Our team is a tight-knit group characterised by kindness, integrity, and determination.
We are already making some noise within the local community and would like to ensure that we continue to improve consistently; so we are looking for someone who will be excited to get up for work every day, knowing that they are making a real impact in our journey together.
As the right person for the job, you will:
● Be passionate, reliable, adaptable and forward thinking
● Endeavour to embody our values of kindness, integrity, and determination
● Have extremely high personal hygiene standards, understand our food safety procedures, and ensure that these are properly followed at all times
● Have previous experience working in the hospitality industry, ideally involving food preparation in a bakery - barista skills would be a big plus too, but not essential
In addition, you will be willing and able to perform a variety of duties, including:
● Offering counter service, as well as limited table service
● Assisting in preparing various foods, including pastries, sandwiches and salads
● Assisting in preparing various drinks, including coffee, tea and smoothies
In exchange, we commit to offering you:
● A supportive team operating a truly positive work environment
● Creative freedom to develop seasonal artisan products and promotional propositions
● Continued training in all aspects of food safety and hygiene
● Opportunities to grow in your role as our business continues to grow
● Competitive salary based on your experience, as well as performance incentives
● Free coffee and food at work, as well as a 10% employee discount
● Holiday pay and workplace pension scheme
