Full-time hours
Can you inspire colleagues to deliver industry leading customer service every time alongside simple food, boldly made?
Here at the Cornish Bakery, we want to redefine what a bakery is, does and can be. At our heart we are for and about people, a part of the local community. Our purpose is to nourish people.
We are looking for an individual with passion to be our next Assistant Bakery Manager with leadership experience in food service and customer-facing environments. Proven track record of managing teams, delivering excellent customer service, meeting sales and KPI targets, and maintaining high food quality and safety standards. A motivated and adaptable leader who excels at coaching staff, improving performance, and creating positive customer experiences.
You'll nourish your team by coaching, supporting and developing colleagues to reach their full potential, creating an environment where everyone can thrive. You'll be committed to raising the bar, continually looking for ways to improve performance, quality and the customer experience. With a fighting spirit, you'll remain positive and resilient under pressure, overcoming challenges with a solutions focused approach. You'll own it by taking accountability for results, making confident decisions and leading by example. And when priorities shift, you'll be comfortable changing gear, adapting quickly to meet the needs of the business while keeping your team engaged and customers at the heart of everything you do.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
