Bakery Porter

Company: DoughGirl
Department: Bakery / Production
Location: On-site, Wainfleet, Lincolnshire
Employment type: Full-time
Reports to: Bakery Team Leader / Bakery Manager
Pay: £13.50 per hour, increasing to £14.10 per hour on successful completion of probation and required training

About the role

Our Bakery Porters help keep production moving. You will make sure ingredients, equipment, trays, trolleys and other materials are available where and when the bakery team needs them.

This is a physically active role. You will move around the bakery throughout your shift, support different production teams and help maintain a clean, safe and organised workplace.

What you’ll do

• Replenish production areas with ingredients, equipment and materials.
• Move ingredients, products, trays, racks and trolleys safely between areas.
• Clear empty containers, packaging and equipment from production areas.
• Wash and clean trays, utensils, containers and equipment when required.
• Keep walkways clear and return equipment to its correct location.
• Separate and remove waste correctly.
• Support general bakery production tasks and periodic deep cleans.
• Follow food safety, allergen, hygiene and health and safety procedures.
• Report damaged equipment, shortages or other concerns to the Bakery Team Leader.

Keeping production moving

We are looking for someone who takes the initiative. As you learn how the bakery works, you should anticipate what the team will need next and have it ready, while maintaining cleaning and safety standards.

What we’re looking for

You should be reliable, punctual, organised and happy doing active work. You will need to follow instructions, communicate well with different teams and be comfortable working independently once trained.

Previous bakery, food production, warehouse, kitchen or porter experience would be helpful but is not essential. Full training will be provided.

The role involves standing and walking for much of the shift, moving equipment and materials, bending, reaching and working in warm production areas. Appropriate manual handling training and required PPE will be provided.

What we offer

• £13.50 per hour during probation and training, increasing to £14.10 per hour after successful completion of both.
• Opportunity to earn a company performance bonus of up to £3,200 per person per annum, subject to company performance and the bonus scheme’s eligibility and payment terms.
• Full training, company pension and employee discount.
• Opportunities to learn additional bakery and production skills.
