What is a flexi-job in a bakery and why is it interesting?

The advantages of a flexi-job in a bakery

A flexi-job is a flexible side job with favorable tax conditions. In a bakery you often work in a close-knit team, smell fresh bread every day, and help customers with a smile. The biggest advantage: you keep more net than with a regular side job, because your gross pay is almost entirely paid out net. So no fuss with tax returns.

What kind of work do you do exactly?

As a flexi in a bakery you can perform various tasks. In the morning you help pack pastries, during the day you work behind the counter, and on weekends you support with special orders. Some bakers also look for people to prepare dough or cleaning. The work is varied and you quickly build a bond with regular customers.

How much do you earn?

The wage for a flexi-job in a bakery depends on the role and your age. Count on at least the legal minimum wage, but often hourly wages are higher, especially in the early morning or during holidays. And because it's a flexi-job, you hardly pay any tax or social contributions. So you end up with around 12 to 15 euros net per hour.

Who is it suitable for?

Anyone who works at least 4/5 in another job, pensioners, and students can do a flexi-job. You don't need a baker's diploma; many businesses are happy to train you. As long as you are customer-friendly and a bit stress-resistant, you're welcome. Flexi-jobs in bakeries are ideal if you're looking for extra income without being tied to a fixed schedule.

When is the best time to start?

Demand for flexis in bakeries peaks in the autumn. October is the ideal time to apply: bakers are already looking for extra hands for the busy end-of-year period with St. Nicholas, Christmas, and New Year. But also in spring, when many permanent staff take holidays, there are opportunities. So don't wait too long; the best jobs are filled quickly.

Tips to find a flexi-job faster

Be specific in your search. Use keywords like flexi-job weekend Kortrijk or flexi-job evening Kortrijk if you prefer certain hours. Also look beyond the bakery: in a supermarket like Delhaize you sometimes find flexi-job Delhaize Kortrijk. And don't forget that we gather all vacancies, so you don't have to endlessly comb through different sites.
