Part of our ethos at e5 is to be open and share knowledge where possible. Gaining experience in other bakeries has and remains an important way for our teams to exchange ideas and strengthen ties with others who share similar values within and outside of our community. It’s important for us to offer that opportunity to other people here at e5. We do however receive a huge number of stage requests and it is impossible for us to accommodate all of them. We prioritise those who share our passion for sustainability, inclusivity, diversity (both environmentally and in a human way) and who show genuine curiosity. Hosting stages takes time and resources from our hard-working teams and sometimes the day-to-day means we cannot afford to spare this time. Please be understanding if we cannot accommodate you and don’t let it deter you on your baking/pastry/farming/coffee journey.

We will try to reply as quickly as possible.

Sous Chef

An exciting opportunity to work alongside our talented Head Chef, leading a team of skilled, creative chefs. We offer excellent work–life balance with predominantly day shifts and aim to keep hours to 40 per week.

You’ll support the Head Chef across our service kitchen in Hackney and production kitchen supplying two other sites, plus daily catering and weekend brunch. The role includes contributing to seasonal menus, catering, and events, with scope for creative recipe development.

We champion seasonal, organic British produce and make as much as possible in-house – from jams and marmalades to pickles, ferments, and condiments.
