ARE YOU READY TO JOIN AN INTERNATIONAL COFFEE BRAND AND SET YOUR CAREER ALIGHT?

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for an experienced Hands on Barista with a passion for coffee and good food to join our coffee shop, Esquires Coffee, in our super-modern Wullcomb store in the City Centre.

Over 25 years, Esquires Coffee UK has evolved a culture and brand that redefines the coffee space. Even though we are a global coffee chain, we take satisfaction in the joy we bring to local communities.

We pride ourselves on our indie, laidback and cool environments where people of all ages can visit us and relax, socialize, study, celebrate and work. We mirror this environment within our teams too; we want you to love your work and make it your career.

Our Other stores in Leicester and Loughborough feature contemporary aesthetics with state-of-the-art equipment, the best (in our expert opinion) ethically sourced, Fairtrade coffee on the market, a simple yet impressive food menu. Our store will be open all day, every day, serving breakfast to evening meals through both counter and table service.

This role is fast paced, and no two days will be the same. So, if you feel like you could take on this challenge and make a real difference in your local community, keep reading!

We invite you to join our chain of 60 shops in the UK and Ireland, and to take your career onwards - we love to watch people grow with us and take on larger roles within the organisation.

The role in a nutshell:

You will also maintain the high store standards, foster a positive work environment and provide consistent, fast, efficient, and friendly service, ensuring a first-class experience for both our customers and team members.

You will be master of all trades within the store, jumping between serving amazing coffee, create and present customers with mouth-watering dishes, epitomise great bar service and look calm and collected on the shop floor; all with a smile! Also will be responsible for daily opening and closing procedures, ordering stock for our daily needs, supervising the staff to maintain cleanliness of the store to the highest standards, overlooking and maintaining level of service, cashing up.

Who are we looking for?

We pride ourselves on our staff having shining personalities. Therefore, we are looking for an energetic and vibrant person, who will be a huge part of our team. Looking the part at both 7:30 am and 6:30pm is important. We need somebody who has a great eye for detail, embodies passion for their job, is highly organized and wants to make a difference in their community. We are looking for somebody who can provide full support to their Manager in day to day running of the business.
