Baker – Early Morning or Evening Shift

About Sanctuary Modern Kitchen

Sanctuary Modern Kitchen is a 100% Certified Gluten-Free bakery, market, and takeout restaurant located in Frederick, Maryland. Our entire facility is gluten-free, wheat-free, and nut-free, and we produce a wide variety of baked goods and specialty foods from scratch.

Prior gluten-free or allergen-specific baking experience is NOT required. We provide hands-on allergen and cross-contact training during your first week of employment. We are looking for someone who already has a strong foundation in baking—we will teach you how we do it safely in our facility.

About the Position

We are looking for an experienced, dependable Baker to join our production team. This position may be scheduled for early mornings before the rest of the staff arrives or evenings after the daytime staff has finished, depending on availability and scheduling needs.

Our bakers produce a wide variety of products, which may include:

• Croissants and laminated pastries
• Muffins
• Bagels
• Pretzels
• Pastries
• Cookies
• Truffles
• Breads and rolls
• Seasonal and specialty baked goods
• Other bakery production as assigned

What a Typical Shift Looks Like

You will come in and independently set up the bakery and your workstation for your shift. Using our established recipes and production task system, you will work through the day’s assigned baking and production list while monitoring proofing, baking, cooling, finishing, and overall product quality.

Throughout the shift, you will be responsible for completing required quality checks and making sure products meet Sanctuary’s standards for appearance, texture, consistency, and food safety.

At the end of your shift, you will clean and sanitize your workspace, equipment, and production areas and ensure the bakery is properly reset for the next team.

Who We’re Looking For

Previous baking experience is required, but that experience does not have to come from a commercial bakery. We welcome applicants with strong home-baking experience as well as those who have worked professionally.

We are especially interested in candidates who have experience with laminated doughs and yeast-based baking, including products such as croissants, breads, bagels, pretzels, or similar items.

Because portions of this position may be worked when few or no other employees are present, you must be comfortable working independently. The right person will be:

• Self-motivated and able to stay on task without constant supervision
• Organized and able to manage multiple products and bake times
• Comfortable following detailed recipes and procedures
• Consistent and attentive to product quality
• Able to prioritize a production list and complete tasks on time
• Dependable and punctual
• Comfortable cleaning and maintaining an organized workspace

Training

This position will receive hands-on training directly from the owner to learn Sanctuary Modern Kitchen’s recipes, production standards, equipment, and processes.

if this sounds like you or something you’d be interested in, apply now! We would love to have you join our team.
