Pastry Chef ? Full-TimeThe Polly Fox Bakery & Bistro · Abbotsford, BC Compensation: $20 ? $24 per hour (commensurate with experience) Schedule: Full-time · Early mornings *Benefits:*Extended health & dental, and a full benefits package. Bake something people cross the city for Since 2016, The Polly Fox has done something most bakeries wouldn't dare to: build a 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen that makes pastries good enough that nobody misses the gluten. No shortcuts, no cross-contamination, no compromise ? just beautiful, honest baking for a community that has trusted us for years. Now we're looking for a Pastry Chef to lead our pastry program and take it somewhere new. If you can laminate a croissant that shatters at the first bite, sheet a Danish that holds its shape and shine, and treat every viennoiserie like it matters ? and if the idea of mastering all of that entirely gluten-free excites you rather than scares you ? this is a rare and genuinely special kitchen to call home. What you'll do * Produce our full pastry line to a consistently high standard: croissants, Danishes, laminated doughs, and the full range of pastries. * Own the craft ? mixing, laminating, shaping, proofing, and baking with care and precision every single day. * Bring new ideas to the table. We want a chef who develops new items, plays with seasonal specials, and helps shape where our pastry menu goes next. Your creativity will have a real home here. * Uphold our celiac-safe standards without exception ? this is the heart of what makes Polly Fox trusted. * Keep the pastry station organized, clean, and running smoothly. Who should apply We're looking for an experienced pastry professional ? this role is not an entry point. You should apply if you have: * Proven, hands-on experience making croissants, Danishes, and laminated pastries. Lamination is central to this role; you should already be confident with it. * A strong track record in a bakery or pastry kitchen. * Genuine excitement about gluten-free baking (prior gluten-free experience is a big asset; a real desire to master it is essential). * A creative streak ? you love developing new pastries, not just repeating a recipe card. * Reliability for early-morning, full-time work and a calm, consistent presence in the kitchen. If lamination and pastry craft are your world, we'd love to hear from you. Why Polly Fox * A full benefits package ? extended health and dental coverage included. * Full-time stability with a beloved, established local brand. * Creative ownership ? real input into the menu, not just a line to follow. * A rare craft challenge: few pastry chefs anywhere get to master world-class laminated pastry in a fully gluten-free kitchen. This is a skill and a story that sets you apart. * A loyal community that already knows and champions what we do. How to apply Send your resume and a short note about your pastry experience ? and, if you have them, a few photos of your work ? to hello@thepollyfox.com We can't wait to see what you'll bake with us. The Polly Fox is an equal-opportunity employer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds.
