Job description
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.
