The Baker position at Sodexo within the University of Northern Colorado offers a dynamic, part-time opportunity for individuals passionate about baking and culinary arts.

This position accommodates individuals who are committed to punctuality and reliability, crucial traits to maintaining smooth bakery operations.

Sodexo’s work environment is supportive, with a focus on flexible schedules allowing employees to balance work and personal life effectively. The company provides comprehensive training and development opportunities, encouraging employees to turn their roles into long-term careers with advancement potential. Benefits include paid time off, medical, dental, and vision coverage, tuition reimbursement, 401k, and various employee discount programs. Certain locations may offer additional perks such as free shift meals, uniforms, safety shoes, and assistance with transportation or parking.
