Bakery Supervisor jobs

Senior Night Shift Viennoiserie Supervisor

11pm–7am | Full-time | On-site

Notting Hill Bakery is a well-established wholesale artisan bakery with over 20 years of experience, supplying a wide range of upmarket customers as well as our own retail shop with quality handmade breads, pastries, and viennoiserie.

As we continue to expand our retail side, we are placing a stronger focus on quality, consistency, and presentation rather than simply increasing volume. We are looking for a friendly, passionate, and highly experienced Senior Supervisor to lead our night shift production team from 10pm to 6am and help maintain the high standards expected of a growing retail bakery.

About the role

You will take responsibility for supervising the viennoiserie section during the night shift, ensuring smooth production, strong quality control, good organisation, and a positive working environment. The emphasis of the role is on producing consistently excellent products with care and attention, supporting our retail expansion through quality-led production rather than volume-led output.

This role would suit an experienced bakery or viennoiserie supervisor who is confident managing a team, comfortable working nights, and motivated by quality, consistency, creativity, and product improvement. Knowledge of bread baking, including sourdough and related production methods, would also be beneficial as the role may grow to include some bread baking within the production schedule.

Key responsibilities

· Supervise and support the night shift team during 10pm–6am production.

· Take responsibility for quality, consistency, and efficiency within the section.

· Lead by example in all areas of hands-on production.

· Oversee key production stages including mixing, lamination, cutting, shaping, filling, and finishing.

· Train, mentor, and motivate team members.

· Support recruitment and development of staff where required.

· Bring creativity to the role and help influence the future product range as our retail offer grows.

· Ensure food safety, hygiene, and bakery standards are strictly followed.

· Maintain a clean, organised, and safe working area.

What we are looking for

· Senior-level supervisory experience in a bakery or viennoiserie production environment.

· Strong practical and theoretical knowledge of viennoiserie.

· Experience managing and mentoring a production team.

· A genuine passion for bakery and handmade products.

· Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to high standards.

· A creative approach, with the confidence to contribute ideas and influence the product range.

· Confidence working in a fast-paced production environment.

· Knowledge of bread baking, sourdough, and related production methods would be beneficial.

· Good understanding of food safety and hygiene requirements.

· Reliability, flexibility, and the ability to work night shifts from 10pm to 6am.

Why join us?

You will be joining a friendly, established bakery at an exciting stage of retail growth. This is a great opportunity for an experienced supervisor to make a real impact, help shape the quality and consistency of our night production, and use their creativity to influence the future range. You will be part of a team that cares about craftsmanship, presentation, and strong working standards rather than simply producing higher volumes.

If you are an experienced, hands-on supervisor with a passion for viennoiserie and night shift production, we would love to hear from you.
