The Cakery Leamington Spa makes cupcakes and celebration cakes for every occasion, which delight customers around Warwickshire. We pride ourselves on creating delicious and beautiful cupcakes, celebration cakes and wedding cakes and our mission is to be known as the best cake shop in Warwickshire!

The Cakery opened in 2011 and since then it has gone from strength to strength. We now need someone to help us expand and make our 10^th year in business the best!

With our new kitchen opening in the next few weeks we need someone to join our growing team and overhaul our front of house systems, to help us offer the best customer service possible.

Hours are flexible, but around 25 hours per week would be ideal. The bulk of the hours would be based in the shop, some hours could be done at home with the option to fit around school hours where applicable. Some weekend work would be required, which would be fuelled on cupcakes
