About Us

Rollickin is Christchurch’s home of handcrafted gelato and baking – made fresh daily, with plenty of cheeky fun sprinkled in. We’ve grown to three buzzing locations and a production kitchen, with a team that’s passionate about quality, creativity and making people smile.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and inspire a production team of 8, fostering a positive, high-performance culture
  • Oversee daily baking and gelato making – ensuring consistency, quality, and innovation
  • Manage stock control, ordering, and supplier relationships
  • Coordinate production and delivery to three Rollickin locations (driver’s licence required)
  • Maintain excellent food safety and hygiene standards
  • Collaborate with the wider team on new product development and seasonal specials

About You

  • Experienced baker / chef with gelato, pastry or dessert skills (or keen to learn gelato craft)
  • Proven leadership in a busy kitchen or production environment
  • Strong organisational and communication skills
  • Hands-on, energetic and solution-focused
  • Passionate about quality, creativity, and teamwork
  • What We Offer

  • Realistic work hours that support work-life balance
  • A fun, supportive workplace where learning & creativity is encouraged
  • The chance to lead and grow with a growing local brand
  • Competitive pay package based on experience
  • An opportunity to make your mark and shape the future of Rollickin production
