Barista, Independent Cafe

Morning shifts in a busy lanes cafe. Latte art helpful, not essential.

We are recruiting a Barista, Independent Cafe to join our team in Brighton. This is a permanent position with a proper handover, a named manager from day one, and the training you need to do the job well rather than just get through the first week.

About the role

• Run your section through service, keeping standards up when it gets busy.
• Prepare and present dishes to spec, with consistency the priority.
• Keep the kitchen and front of house clean, stocked and compliant with food safety.
• Support and train newer members of the team.
• Help with ordering, stock rotation and keeping waste down.

What we are looking for

• Kitchen or front-of-house experience at a comparable standard.
• Clear communication with colleagues, and with customers where the role involves them.
• The judgement to work unsupervised, and the sense to ask when something is not clear.
• A careful approach to safety and to your own standard of work.
• Willingness to learn the parts of this you have not done before.

What we offer

• Genuine progression — most of our supervisors started in this role.
• A permanent contract and a proper induction, not a fortnight of guessing.
• Paid training and support towards the qualification the role needs.
• 28 days holiday including bank holidays, rising with service.
• Company pension, and life cover after your first year.
