Nabolom is a worker-owned collective bakery and café, operating in Berkeley since 1976. We are currently looking for 2-3 new full-time and/or part-time workers. Ideally, each worker would eventually expand into all aspects of the bakery including full collective ownership.

This position requires scheduling flexibility and is not an after-school or seasonal job. The bakery is staffed 24 hours a day and can require unusual hours.

Requirements:

• Minimum 1 year commitment (looking for long term members interested in ownership)
• Interest in participating fully in a worker-owned cooperative
• Ability to attend Collective Meetings on Monday afternoons
• Ability to lift 50 pounds and stand for 8+ hours
• Baking and/or food production experience
• Excellent communication skills
• Demonstrable initiative
• Delivery Driver candidates must be 21+ years old, have a valid CA state driver’s license, and a clean driving record (driving is not required for all candidates)

Preferred:
-Baking and/or customer service experience
-Collective experience or familiarity with consensus process

Please state your preferred shifts in your cover letter. All workers train on
the store shift and then learn new shifts. Priority is given to candidates
able to work over-nights and weekends.

• Store: 6:30 am-2 pm, 1 pm-8:30 pm
• Bake: 7 pm-3 am, 3 am-11am
• Office: 9-5ish twice a week
• Prep: 9 am-5 pm, 2 pm-10 pm
• Delivery: midnight to 7 am

We are looking to hire someone who is responsible, self-motivated, good at communicating, and fun to work with. Compensation is based on a shift-pay system with hourly wages. No health benefits currently offered, but we are working on it!

If you are interested in joining the Nabolom community and feel you fit this description, please bring a resume and cover letter by the bakery as soon as possible.

Please note: NO resumes will be accepted without a cover letter.

Our Easter and Passover treats are making a comeback at the bakery, just in time for this wonderful weather. We’ll be serving macaroons (plain and chocolate-dipped), Lotties’ Cookies, Honey Loaf, Viennese Nut Muffins, and Hot Cross Buns.

Nabolom Collective treats make any holiday extra-special.

Come by the cafe in March and pick up a few (or a few dozen) of these wonderful cookies. We’ll only carry them for a limited time!

Hanna Vogel, a recent graduate of California College of the Arts, has installed her newest fiber-art piece here at Nabolom. We’ll be displaying this multi-media work for the remainder of February.

Come by and support a local artist!
