The full-time roles will be permanent, with work distributed across four days between Monday and Thursday. Shifts will commence at 2pm and finish at 12am, with occasional overtime available.
Presently, The Island Bakery consists of a team of 12 people. The successful candidates will help with various elements of production, including weighing ingredients and packing.
Applicants should be able to work collaboratively and effectively in a small team. They must also be “reasonably fit”, as staff will be required to work on their feet.
No prior experience is needed to apply for the positions, though it would be beneficial. Additionally, one of the positions will involve warehouse work, so forklift experience would be advantageous.
The HiJOBS advert reads: “We’re a friendly small family business where everyone is valued, in a small island community. Opportunities to move here to a full-time permanent and year-round position with affordable accommodation included are rare. If you want to make the move we’d love to hear from you.”
During time off, there’s plenty to explore around Tobermory over the three-day weekend, reports the Daily Record. The principal town on Mull is best known for its vibrant harbour-front properties that famously featured in Balamory.
One of the area’s premier attractions is the Tobermory Distillery, which was established back in 1798. The distillery, which crafts celebrated single malt whiskies, also offers guided tours and an extensive range of tasting sessions.
Another must-see destination in Tobermory is The Mull Museum, dedicated to the island’s captivating heritage. The compact museum houses an extensive collection of records and diverse artefacts chronicling Mull’s rich history.
Candidates for positions at The Island Bakery must participate in a virtual interview. According to HiJOBS, the bakery seeks new staff members to start at the earliest opportunity. Further details regarding the vacancy can be accessed via the HiJOBS website.
