Baker

FULL TIME BAKING POSITION

Seeking multiple experienced full-time bakers for 40 hours/week with availability for a consistent schedule of four 10 hour shifts or five 8 hour shifts (with some flexibility for what days of the week) Monday through Saturday. Given that we are hiring for multiple bakers at this time, we may have some flexibility with scheduling.

Crust is a specialty, vegan bakery in the NW Philadelphia neighborhood of Manayunk. Our business has a new retail storefront on Main St, however this position would be based out of our commercial kitchen located just down the street on Krams Ave where we do the majority of our wholesale baking.

Given that we are such a small & rapidly growing business, the person hired will have the opportunity to grow, have their input valued, and be able to help shape our future if desired!

While the workload can be daunting, we try to balance that with a positive & fun work environment.

Base pay starts at $14.50/hr. with the possibility of a raise 6 months later. All employees receive immediate access to full health insurance options available. After our 3 month probationary new hire period, the employee would receive 40 hours of sick time. After 6 months the employee will be eligible for 40 hours of PTO as well as access to a free telehealth plan provided by Crust.

While we do not require our staff to be vegan, since we are a kosher certified kitchen and bakery, all meals brought to eat at work must follow kosher guidelines and therefore must be vegan.
