Supervisor | Blackbird Bakery

Are you a natural leader who loves bringing out the best in people? At Blackbird, our Supervisors are the heartbeat of the shop floor. We’re looking for a mentor, a problem-solver, and a brand champion to help our management team deliver the ultimate customer experience.

If you’re a pro at staying cool under pressure and you’re ready to lead a team that feels like family, we want you to take the lead!

The Blackbird Way: Leading by Example

As a Supervisor, you don’t just follow the four pillars—you inspire them in others:

• ?️ Plain Talking: You’re a clear communicator who keeps the team briefed and focused. You give honest feedback respectfully and listen to your team to keep things running smoothly.
• ? Real Me: You’re a role model. You take ownership of your shift, show up with a "can-do" attitude, and take pride in maintaining the highest standards of the Blackbird brand.
• ? Working Together: You’re the glue that holds the team together. You plan, organise, and monitor productivity while keeping the atmosphere light-hearted and supportive, even during the morning rush.
• ☕ Service First: You’re obsessed with the fine details. You lead the charge in making every customer feel valued, ensuring no one is kept waiting and every product served is perfect.

The Mission & Purpose

Your goal is to assist the management team in the smooth running of the shop. You’ll deliver the highest standards of customer experience and product quality by leading, supporting, and coaching the team. In the absence of the manager, the shop is in your capable hands.

Your Key Objectives

• Role Modelling: Leading the team to exceed customer needs and provide outstanding product quality.
• Workflow Management: Planning, organising, and monitoring team productivity and teamwork.
• Management Support: Assisting with daily/weekly tasks to ensure the shop runs like clockwork.
• Compliance & Responsibility: Taking ownership of company policies, legal requirements, and security while on duty.

Responsibilities: What You’ll Master

• Excellent Communication skills and professional standards.
