Got a question about careers at Bakers Delight or next steps?
We’re here to help.

Working age requirements differ from state to state, so it all depends on where you’re based. However, Bakers Delight policy requires applicants to be at least 14 years old. Most States have restrictions for school aged children relating to hours of work and/or types of jobs you can perform until you complete minimum schooling requirements.

Check your state’s requirements below to see how old you need to be to start your Bakers Delight career.

VIC: You can start work if you are 15 or older.

SA: There is no set age for when you can start work; however, if you are under 17, you aren’t allowed to work during school hours.

Finding a job can be hard, especially if you haven’t had much experience or don’t have a decent resume. Actually sitting though a job interview can be even harder!

While these things may seem daunting, being well prepared can be the key to your success. This includes having a resume, being prepared for an interview and following up post your interview.

Consider your own availability, what hours and days can you commit to work and are you looking for full time, part time or casual work? What about commute time? How will you get to work and how far you prepared to travel? And lastly, think about the types of duties you might be performing in your role? Do those duties align with your current skills and what things might you need to learn and develop in?

By taking these factors into account, you’ll be better positioned to find a job that fits what you need and also helps you grow in your career.

Following up after an interview is probably the most important part of seeking employment. Some employers look for candidates who have the ability to follow up because it shows a willingness to get involved and be responsible.

Usually, it’s best to wait about a week to make a call and when you do, do your best to get on the phone with the person who will be hiring you. If you’re unsuccessful, don’t be too downhearted as employers receive large numbers of applications for every role. Remember to thank the employer for the opportunity and request feedback from your interview so that you can improve your performance next time. If you’re offered the job, make sure it’s right for you and double-check the employment conditions details before deciding whether to accept the position.

Even if the bakery you want to work at is not hiring right now, you can still express your interest. We always love hearing from eager people, and our bakeries tend to hire every couple of months.

So next time you are at the bakery, just ask to speak to the manager and let them know you are interested in a job. It is a good idea to bring an up-to-date CV that includes your contact details and any experience you have. They will get back to you as soon as any positions become available.

It depends. As each of our bakeries are individual businesses, they may have their own workplace agreements and rates of pay. Pay rates will be discussed during the interview process and will be listed in your contract. If you have any other questions, please contact the bakery you are applying to directly.

Yes. All Bakers Delight employees must either be Australian citizens, or be eligible to work in Australia. You will need to provide your visa and passport details during the recruitment process so we can verify your working rights.

Working hours will depend on your employment status (full-time, part-time or casual). Hours of work will be either outlined in the job advertisement or discussed during the interview process.

We sure do. Just get in touch with your local bakery and they will be able to give you more information and let you know how to apply. If you are interested in work experience at Head Office please contact customer.relations@bakersdelight.com.au

We sure do. Australian Apprenticeships are available to anyone of working age. You can undertake an Australian Apprenticeship if you are a school leaver, re-entering the workforce or an adult worker.

Each Franchisee does their own recruitment so please contact the bakery directly to determine whether there are any vacancies within the team. You can locate their phone number here.
