At Geary's, we’re on a crusade to make proper bread more accessible to more people. We’re passionate about re‑imagining the way Great Britain thinks about its everyday loaf. This passion is at the heart of everything we do, and has guided us since 1906.

We are ‘born and bread’ in Leicestershire and proud of our long‑standing heritage. Today, we operate from three sites on a 24/7 operation. We are made up of over 500 people: a friendly, diverse and outgoing team, passionate about making a difference to the bakery industry.

We provide full training and support, and the chance to learn new skills from some of the best master bakers in the country. We invest in those who are committed to our craft and offer great opportunities to develop into supervisory and management roles. Our benefits include free delicious bread and a Cycle to Work scheme. If you refer a friend to join our team, you could earn up to £500!

At Geary's, we look for people who show up every day to do their best. We’re a passionate, friendly team and look for the same qualities in our new recruits. We firmly believe your attitude and approach is just as important (if not, more so) than the skills and experience on your CV.

• Great communication skills (we love to have a chat)
• Good understanding of Food Safety and Health and Safety (the important bits!)
• Experience in a similar role within food manufacturing (even better if it was in a bakery)
• Experience in leading and supporting a team of people (no matter how big or small)
