Careers at Toast Ale

We set out to make beer that tastes amazing and does amazing things too. That’s why we brew with surplus bread, turning leftover loaves into liquid gold. What’s more, 100% of our profits go to environmental charities. Let's buy Mother Nature a round and raise a Toast to planet Earth.

Our Mission & Vision

Fighting food waste by making beer - we'll toast to that!

    πŸ“£ Mission & Purpose
    Toast's mission to fix the food system over a pint guides everything we do. From the core product and the use of profits, to the use of our platforms to raise awareness and inspire change. Even the ownership structure is designed to support and protect the mission, with all employees having the opportunity to be part owners, investors committing to reinvest net capital gains in environmentally-led businesses and a golden share. It makes the work incredibly rewarding and I'm so proud of what we're achieving.

    πŸ– Flexibility
    Toast is a great place to work for parents who need flexibility in the working hours to juggle nurseries and schools, for those who live further out of London who can avoid the rush hour commute (or work from home), and for those who want to enjoy and learn within our brilliant hospitality industry in the evening and flex their hours accordingly.

    πŸ‘» Transparency
    We openly share our knowledge and experience with others. Externally we publish our annual impact report and our website tracks progress through the year, whilst we publish resources for others such as our home brew recipe. Internally we have an open book policy to ensure everyone has access to the information needed to do their job, collaborate with each other and understand the overall context.

    Overall

    Toast is ambitious for our mission - we're always looking at how we can do more and do better through unique and impressive partnerships (e.g. bringing Heineken on as an investor in 2022 to scale the amount of bread saved by working in their supply chain). But we're also supportive of our team, with forums to regularly discuss mental health and wellbeing and put in place policies and actions to make it the best place to work.
