Full Job Description
The Bread Shed is a small, locally owned production bakery in Keene, NH. We make handmade, wholesome breads and baked goods for grocery stores, restaurants, distributors, and community partners throughout the region.
We are a busy, growing bakery with a fun, hardworking crew. Our team takes the work seriously, but we also try to keep the day upbeat, supportive, and enjoyable. We care about making great products, helping each other out, and creating a workplace where people feel appreciated.
If you like staying busy, working with your hands, being part of a team, and ending the day feeling like you actually accomplished something, this could be a great fit.
This is a physical job in a warm, fast-paced bakery. You’ll be on your feet, moving around, lifting pans, shaping bread, loading ovens, making pretzels, packaging baked goods, and helping wherever needed. It is hard work, but you will be working alongside a crew that supports each other and keeps things moving with good energy.
Previous kitchen, baking, production, or food service experience is a plus, but it is not required. We are happy to train the right person. Reliability, a positive attitude, and willingness to learn matter most.
