Hello Bend! Sparrow Bakery is looking to hire a Baker's Apprentice at our Wholesale Production Facility in NW Bend. This position could be PT (2-3 days/week) or FT (4 days/week), daytime shift. We are looking for a committed, eager apprentice who is ready to land a serious career in baking. Ideal candidates will have food service or some baking experience, but this is an entry-level position so no experience is required to apply! A GREAT way to set yourself apart from the crowd is to write us a brief cover letter introducing yourself and your interest in this particular position! It makes a huge difference and greatly increases your chance of getting noticed.

Apprentice Production Bakers work with a senior team on various aspects of our bread baking program including but not limited to shaping and or laminating pastry dough, hand-shaping bread, baking brioche products and English muffins, packing/labeling products for retail and wholesale delivery, occasionally dishwashing and general caretaking of the bakery. Someone in this position will generally have a more senior baker working beside them and guiding them through the shift, even after training ends. It's important to note that this is a very physical job; requiring strength and stamina, and the ability to work on your feet for your entire shift.

At Sparrow we consider ourselves a “teaching company” – if this position piques your interest, but you are concerned you don’t have the experience to qualify, we encourage you to apply – we are hoping to land a well-rounded individual and are willing to exchange some baking experience for a teachable candidate with a strong work ethic. There's definitely room to grow in this position!

Pay will depend upon relevant experience:

• Starting wage of $18.50-19.50/hour DOE

Sparrow is an employee-centered company. We offer a moderate benefits package with a 50/50 health insurance for any FT individual after 60 days, PTO after 1 year, sick-pay, and a 401K matching plan after 1 year. We will work to give you a regular, consistent schedule that works best for you and your family: full-time at Sparrow Bakery is four days a week with three regular days off to rest and enjoy Central Oregon. We will be attentive to your needs, concerns, and growth potential as it arrives throughout your tenure – we strive to offer jobs we would be proud to have, and work hard to set ourselves apart as one of the best employers in town.

Please apply online on Indeed (making sure to attach a brief cover letter explaining your interest in this position; this is a GREAT WAY to get noticed amid a sea of applicants!) . We look forward to hearing from you!
