THE LUMINARY MISSION
To empower the UK’s most disadvantaged women to gain employment and independence through training, support and community, using baking as a tool.
- Providing exceptional training & support programmes that afford women with the tools she needs to change her future. - Offering opportunities into the ‘world of work’ by being an understanding and empowering employer and acting as a bridge for a woman to start her career. - Producing beautiful, artisanal baked goods that make a difference & tell a story. - Creating welcoming, community cafes with excellent quality products that engage the wider community by enabling them to ‘purchase with purpose’.
We are an ambitious and driven team, with a desire to create as many employment opportunities for women as we can. We are committed to building a diverse team, and seek to be representative of those we are supporting, so we would especially like to hear from from applicants who are from racially minoritised groups in the UK.
Luminary Bakery is a powerhouse of social impact, transforming lives one deliciously baked good at a time. They're all about empowering women facing challenging circumstances, using the simple joy of baking to create a positive change. This is a place where your work truly matters and contributes directly to social change. If you're tired of the corporate grind and want to work somewhere with heart and soul, Luminary could be your perfect fit. They offer a hands-on, purpose-driven environment with opportunities to make real decisions and shape the future of their social enterprise. Plus, the perks of good coffee and tasty treats don't hurt either.
