Crucially, we are looking for someone who loves coffee, has good communication skills, takes their jobs seriously but is personable and appreciates the fun side of the industry.
For the kitchen role we are looking for someone who has experience working in coffee shops and kitchens, ideally in a coffee shop kitchen. We are expanding our food offering and we are looking for someone with an interest in high quality cooking and some experience to back that interest up.
