Now Hiring In Fortitude Valley

Bakery jobs in Brisbane: join the team at Mr T's

We're hiring. Mr T's is a busy Fortitude Valley bakery where everything is made by hand in our own kitchen, and the day starts early. If you want real work in a real kitchen, whether that's baking, pastry, cakes, coffee or sandwiches, have a look at the roles below and tell us which one is yours.

The team behind the bench

The team behind the bench

This is where the roles live. Every morning the ovens go on before the sun does, and by seven the benches are full and the doors are open. Nobody here works alone: the bakers, the pastry side and the counter all hand off to each other through the morning, and the orders go out the door together. Come and stand in it.

The roles we're hiring for

All five are based in our Fortitude Valley kitchen and shop at 159 Knapp St. Pick the one you want and it will take you straight to its application form.

What the day looks like

We're open Monday to Saturday, 7.00am to 2.00pm, and the first pick-ups are waiting at 7am, so the kitchen is in well before that. It's a short, sharp trading day and a genuinely busy one, and the work carries on after the doors close, because next-day catering orders come in right up to our 4pm cut-off.

  • Early starts, and a finish while there's still some daylight left to you.
  • Everything is made by hand on site, so you're actually making things all day, not unpacking them.
  • Orders come through online with the address, date and time already locked in, so the kitchen works to a clear run each morning.
  • Catering goes out to more than 50 Brisbane suburbs, Saturdays included, so mornings have a real deadline attached to them.

What we're after

  • Someone we can count on for an early start, six days a week trading.
  • Care with food, and the same care with a clean bench.
  • Steadiness when it's flat out. The busy hour is the whole point of the job.
  • A team player. Every order passes through more than one pair of hands before it leaves the building.

If you've done the job before, tell us where. If you haven't, tell us what you have done and why you want this one. We'd rather read three honest sentences than a page of nothing.

How to apply

  1. Pick the role from the list above that fits you.
  2. Open that role's page from the list above and fill in the application form.
  3. We'll read it and come back to you.

Please apply through this page rather than ringing the shop. The phone line is kept clear for urgent same-day catering, and the counter is flat out right through the morning.

Where you'd be working

159 Knapp St, Fortitude Valley 4006, open Monday to Saturday, 7.00am to 2.00pm. It's a working bakery kitchen with the shopfront on the same site, which means the people who make it are the people who hand it over.
