The Polly Fox is hiring!

Who are we?

If you aren’t familiar, let us fill you in!

We are a specialty bakery and café, nestled in Abbotsford’s historic downtown. We are free from gluten, peanuts and sesame, with a focus on high quality, locally sourced food and drinks. We happen to be mostly dairy-free, with lots of vegan + vegetarian options. (And not-so-vegan choices for the I’ll-eat-anything types.)

We strive to be a sustainable part of our community, and a local landmark for gluten- and allergen-free treats and staples.

And so, this is where you come in!

We are looking for a Full Time Morning Baker to join our team + shop family.

The ideal candidate will have one year of previous kitchen experience, and is well-suited for someone who enjoys early mornings. Morning shifts start at 4am and end at 12pm, Tuesday to Saturday. Please note that Saturdays are a must.

We would love to see someone creative as our Morning Baker, with an eagerness to learn and the patience to continue improving; gluten free baking can be a tough nut to crack!

Someone who can work both independently and within a team, with the ability to multitask, while remaining focused and present. Members of our team take pride in providing quality products, while also having the ability to work with urgency in a fast-paced environment and supporting each other in all areas of the shop.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Preparing and baking products
• Maintaining precision and consistency with each product; it should reflect the standards of The Polly Fox and meet the expectations of both the shop and the guest
• Maintaining a clean workspace
• Maintaining daily production levels
• Ensuring each finished product is customer-ready
• Assisting with daily prep
• Preparing made-to-order items, such as sandwiches and salads

Skills and Qualification

• Ability to learn new recipes, and recipe follow-through and comprehension
• Knowledge and understanding of baking applications; gluten free experience would be amazing
• Ability to multitask and work under deadlines
• Strong communication; we love transparency and open, confident communication
• Team-oriented; we love to see those who take an interest in their team, connecting with one another to inspire continuous improvement

We are a positive, inclusive and close knit workplace.

We support diversity from all walks of life, and proudly support equal pay rights to all.

And, we are so excited to hear from you!

Please feel free to pop by with your resume; come say hello and grab a coffee!

Hint: we love cover letters!
