Junior Chocolatier (September to May) - Pastry Chef & Chef

Grá Chocolates is on the lookout for a talented and passionate Junior Chocolatier to join our growing team in Galway for a seasonal role from September to May. This is a unique opportunity to work with premium, ethically sourced ingredients and contribute to a brand celebrated for its hand-crafted, artisan confections.

About Grá Chocolates: We are a small-batch chocolatier dedicated to the art of creating unforgettable flavors. We hand-paint our bonbons, source locally, and meticulously polish each mould to ensure a beautiful shine. Our market niche is creating hand-crafted, premium chocolate products for our customers. We do things differently here, and we're looking for someone who shares our fire and ambition.

Role & Responsibilities: As a Junior Chocolatier, you'll be an essential part of our production team, reporting to our Head Chocolatier. Your primary responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

* Chocolate Production: Assisting in the entire production process, including tempering, molding, and hand-painting our signature bonbons.
* Quality Control: Ensuring every product meets our high standards for taste, appearance, and craftsmanship.
* Kitchen Management: Maintaining a clean, organized, and hygienic workstation in line with food safety and sanitation standards.
* Support & Collaboration: Working alongside the production team and assisting with new product development and seasonal collections.
* Inventory & Packaging: Helping with the management of raw materials and the careful packaging of finished products.

Who We're Looking For: You don't need to be a seasoned chocolatier, but you must have a proven passion for chocolate and a desire to learn. The ideal candidate will have:

* A background in a professional kitchen environment, such as a pastry chef, baker, or a junior culinary role.
* A strong understanding of confectionery and pastry skills.
* Exceptional attention to detail and precision in your work.
* The ability to work efficiently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, small-batch production environment.
* Strong organizational and time-management skills.
* Level 2-3 food handling/safety and hygiene certification is a plus.

What It's Really Like to Work Here: This role is for someone who wants to shape the future of a brand. We are a small team with a positive work environment and ambitious goals. We trust each other to get the job done and encourage new ideas from everyone. If you have a creative spirit and a fire in your belly to create something new, we would love to have you join Team Grá.

Work Schedule

This is a full-time, four-day work week role. The standard workdays are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This gives our team a consistent three-day weekend to rest and recharge.

How to Apply: If this sounds like you, please submit your resume and a brief cover letter. In your letter, tell us why you are passionate about chocolate and how your skills and experience will help you succeed in this role. We encourage you to include a link to a portfolio or photos of your work if you have them.
