Bakeri Baltzersen bakes a range of long fermented sourdough loaves, rye, ciabatta and more traditional yeasted white and granary style loaves/rolls. We also bake pastry and viennoiserie from scratch.

Your role will be to attend markets then grow and oversee a team who will trade at markets across Yorkshire.

The majority of markets are held outside so you should be ready to work outdoors.
