Coffee Shop Assistant/barista

Chelmsford, ENG, GB, United Kingdom

Job Description

Overview


We're looking for a friendly, hardworking all-rounder to join our team--someone who feels just as comfortable serving customers as they do preparing food or keeping the kitchen running smoothly. In this role, you'll wear a few different hats: barista, server, food prep assistant, and pot wash support. If you enjoy variety, love working with people, and thrive in a lively, welcoming environment, this could be the perfect fit for you.

Responsibilities



Prepare and serve a range of hot and cold drinks, including coffees, teas, and speciality beverages. Welcome customers warmly, take orders accurately, serve food and drinks, and help ensure guests enjoy a great experience. Assist with food preparation while following all food safety and hygiene standards. Keep the kitchen and cafe areas clean, tidy, and well organised, including washing dishes and maintaining equipment. Stay on top of time management to keep service flowing smoothly during busy periods. Handle cash transactions confidently and maintain accurate records. Work closely with your teammates to create a positive, supportive, and upbeat work atmosphere.

Requirements



Experience in a cafe, restaurant, or food service environment is helpful but not essential--we're happy to train someone with the right attitude. Good understanding of basic food safety practices. Basic maths skills for cash handling and managing orders. Strong time management skills and the ability to stay calm and focused under pressure. A friendly, approachable nature with a genuine passion for helping others. Willingness to get stuck in wherever needed--front of house, behind the counter, or in the kitchen.

What We Offer



Free on-site parking for stress-free commutes. A share of tips, recognising your hard work and great service. Holiday pay, so you can rest and recharge. Supportive, in-house training to help you grow your skills and confidence in every part of the role. A company pension scheme for your future. Employee discount to enjoy our food and drinks even on your days off. Free hot drinks throughout your shift. A free lunch when working 6 hours or more.

Join us and help create warm, memorable experiences for our customers--whether you're brewing coffee, serving food, or keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes!
