What are the responsibilities and job description for the Early Morning Production Baker (Scratch Bakery | Commercial Experience Required) position at The Happy Mixer Gluten Free Bakery?
The Happy Mixer Gluten Free Bakery is a well-established, high-volume scratch bakery seeking an experienced early morning baker to join our production team and work alongside our Head Baker.
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 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.

- Reliable, punctual, and comfortable with early morning hours
- Comfortable working independently and as part of a small, focused team
