Pay: CA$15.00 - CA$19.00 per hour

Care Bakery is a fast-growing industrial bakery producing high-quality gluten-free products for restaurant and retail customers across Canada. We take pride in great products, strong customer service, and excellent production skills that keep us at the forefront of the gluten-free baking industry.

We are looking for a reliable, hardworking Bakery Production Team Member with a primary focus on Scaling. Scaling is a critical part of our production process and requires someone who is comfortable with physically demanding work, pays close attention to detail, and can consistently follow recipes, production procedures, and food safety requirements.

This position is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to develop their skills and learn all areas of industrial gluten-free bakery production.

Primary Responsibility – Scaling

Scaling will be the primary responsibility of this position.

The successful candidate must be comfortable with the physical demands of scaling, which include:

- Continuously lifting and handling 25 kg bags of ingredients throughout the shift.
- Measuring and weighing ingredients accurately according to production formulas.
- Handling flour and other dry ingredients, with regular exposure to flour dust.
- Maintaining accurate ingredient identification and lot tracking.
- Ensuring ingredients are properly staged and available for production.
- Following recipes and production instructions precisely.
- Maintaining a clean, organized, and food-safe scaling area.
- Identifying and reporting ingredient or production issues to the appropriate supervisor.

This is a physically demanding position. Candidates must be prepared for continuous lifting, repetitive movements, and significant exposure to flour dust.

Production Responsibilities

Although scaling is the primary focus, the successful candidate will be expected to learn and assist with other areas of bakery production as required, including:

- Mixing
- Depositing
- Proofing
- Baking
- Cooling
- Packaging
- Ingredient receiving and storage
- General production and sanitation duties

Gluten-free production is different from conventional bread production and requires careful attention to processes, ingredients, equipment, and allergen controls.



Training will be provided, but a willingness to learn and follow procedures is essential. Food Safety & SQF Responsibilities

Care Bakery operates within a SQF-certified food manufacturing environment, and food safety is a responsibility shared by every member of the production team.

The successful candidate will be required to:

- Follow all company food safety, GMP, HACCP, and SQF procedures.
- Complete production and food safety documentation accurately.
- Record ingredient lot numbers for traceability and lot tracking.
- Complete required receiving and ingredient documentation.
- Follow procedures for ingredients placed on HOLD in receiving.
- Maintain proper identification and traceability of ingredients and finished products.
- Report food safety, quality, equipment, or production concerns immediately.
- Maintain a clean and organized work area.
- Follow all employee safety and food safety requirements.

Previous experience with SQF, HACCP, or food manufacturing documentation is an asset, but training will be provided.

Position Requirements

- Strong attention to detail and accuracy, particularly when weighing ingredients and following formulas.
- Ability to continuously lift and handle 25 kg bags throughout the workday.
- Comfortable working around flour and experiencing regular exposure to flour dust.
- Basic understanding of bakery ingredients and yeast-based products is an asset.
- Previous food manufacturing or industrial bakery experience is an asset but not required.
- Ability to learn and operate industrial bakery equipment.
- Ability to follow written and verbal instructions.
- Solid organizational and time-management skills.
- Reliable attendance and a strong work ethic.
- Ability to work effectively as part of a team.
- Strong English communication skills are required for safety, training, documentation, and productive communication.




- Willingness to learn other areas of production beyond scaling.
- Willingness to work weekends when required based on production demands.
- Ability to adapt to changing production schedules based on customer orders and demand.

Schedule This is a 40-hour-per-week position, generally scheduled as four 10-hour shifts from Tuesday to Friday.

- Start time will be determined based on production requirements and may be as early as 5:00 AM.
- Production schedules may change based on customer orders and business demand.
- Weekend work may be required when production needs dictate.

A Second Chance If you don't have experience in every area listed above but are hardworking, reliable, eager to learn, and want to build a career in food manufacturing, we encourage you to apply.
