Lead Barista

4-5 days / 25-35 hours / Mid April Start

We are looking for a Lead Barista with at least two years’ coffee experience, and ideally at least one year in a similar position. However, we are open to someone who has been a barista for a while and is looking to increase their level of responsibility taking on this role.

We’re looking for someone with an exceptionally positive attitude and who is a great communicator. This individual will have an active interest in food as well as coffee, ideally eating out regularly or cooking at home. We’re a small team who cover a variety of roles, so we’re looking for someone who is as comfortable explaining our food offering to customers as they are pouring a great cup behind the bar. It’s important to state that this is not simply a coffee role, and you’ll be expected to be on the floor at times too, providing our customers with attentive and warm table service.

Our main roaster is Ozone with a rotating selection of guest roasters for which there is scope for you to curate. We work on a Linea PB ABR, Mahlkonig E65s GBW and EK-43.

Applicants must be able to work Saturdays. Sunday and Monday off every week.

Responsibilities will include:

  • To monitor coffee stock, placing orders as required

  • To manage quality control of coffee making across the team

  • To train staff as required

  • To set recipes for espresso and filter

  • To monitor machine maintenance, deep cleaning as required

 

You will:

  • Possess a friendly disposition and exceptionally positive attitude

  • Be fastidious about cleanliness, organisation and timekeeping

  • Share our passion for providing outstanding hospitality

  • Have at least two years’ experience in coffee, and ideally one years’ experience in a similar role

  • Be a direct, concise and effective communicator

  • Have an interest in food and cook/eat out regularly

  • Be able to work independently and self-manage, but also work well within a team

  • Have excellent English communication skills

     

We offer you:

  • Competitive rate of pay

  • Plenty of delicious coffee & food to try – lunch is provided

  • A workplace that is inspiring and creative

  • Great work/life balance
