Do you have a passion for great coffee, friendly service and creating a welcoming experience for customers? Are you a positive team player who enjoys working in a busy hospitality environment? If so, this could be the role for you.
At BaxterStorey, we are looking for a
Barista who takes pride in delivering excellent customer service and consistently high standards.
In this role, you will be preparing and serving quality hot drinks, supporting food service, keeping the café and service areas clean and well presented, handling customer transactions and helping the wider team with day to day catering duties.
This is a hands-on role, so we are looking for someone who is happy to get involved in all areas of the operation — including clearing down, cleaning and washing up when needed. No task is too small when it comes to supporting the team and delivering a great service.
We are looking for someone who is friendly, professional, reliable and confident engaging with customers. Barista experience would be beneficial, but full training can be provided for the right person.
We believe our people are what set us apart. As part of the BaxterStorey team, you will be supported in an inclusive environment that encourages development, teamwork and a healthy work-life balance.
If you enjoy great coffee, good food, working as part of a team and you are not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, we would love to hear from you.
