When it comes to careers, our unique 28,000 square foot Rathbones bakery in Wakefield offers something to suit just about every taste.
It’s our only bakery which means it’s always incredibly busy. Our 400 strong team works 24/7 to produce 47 different products, from hot cross buns and seeded loaves to delicious orange and cranberry muffins, crumpets, pancakes, naans, pittas, and more.
Not to mention frozen products for our in-store bakeries and, of course, our famous Rathbones Toastie. With lots of different roles, a wide choice of shift patterns, and plenty of challenges, it has variety well and truly baked in.
"Our bakery has certainly changed over the years and has grown from a 3 line 3 acre site to 8 lines and almost 8 acres, with more expansion plans to come!"
James, Head of Operations - Bread
Chris, Mechanical Engineer
“I’m a Mechanical Engineer, so it’s my job to keep the machines in the bakery running and maintained on a daily basis.
What’s different about working here is that we don’t just make one product like most other bakeries. We’re very diverse making a vast range of products and it can be tough to keep adapting. But you’ve got everything you need here to do it."
