What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant Baker - Scratch Baker (Early Morning) PT position at The Happy Mixer Gluten Free Bakery Limerick?
The Happy Mixer is a high-volume, scratch gluten-free bakery known for quality, consistency, and a strong team culture.
We are hiring a reliable early-morning baker who takes pride in craftsmanship, speed, and following proven systems.
This role is ideal for a baker who takes pride in consistency, craftsmanship, and being part of a dependable, professional kitchen. If you enjoy executing recipes well, working with structure, and contributing to a calm, focused team environment, you will likely enjoy this position.
We are a small, close-knit early morning team that values mutual respect, reliability, and positive day-to-day working relationships. Our best team members are people who take pride in their work, communicate professionally, and enjoy being part of a steady, low-drama environment.
We are not a chef-driven kitchen focused on creative experimentation. We are a systems-driven bakery where great bakers thrive by mastering execution, maintaining quality, and working as part of a reliable team.
About the Role
This is a hands-on production role focused on finishing, baking, and execution. You will receive structured onboarding and support and will be set up to succeed within our systems before being expected to work independently.
You should already have commercial baking experience and be comfortable with mixing, baking, and professional equipment. Most day-to-day mixing is handled by our Head Baker, but this role requires the ability to step into mixing responsibilities as needed once trained.

- Finishing baked goods for daily retail service
- Icing, dipping, glazing, and preparing products to company standards
- Loading and stocking the bakery display case with speed and consistency
- Baking a variety of scratch-made products including breads, bagels, cookies, cakes, brownies, and donuts
- Mixing doughs and batters as needed
- Working with professional mixers, ovens, fryers, and bakery equipment
- Standing for extended periods and lifting 50 pounds in a production environment
What We Are Looking For
- Minimum 2 years of commercial baking experience
- Hands-on finishing experience in a retail or production bakery
- Mixing experience preferred
- Reliable, punctual, and comfortable with early morning hours
- Comfortable working independently and as part of a small, focused team
- Weekend and holiday availability, as families rely on us for celebrations
