Your Day to Day

Are you a coffee maestro with a knack for crafting unforgettable brews? We're on the lookout for a spirited, innovative Head Barista to run the show at our hotel’s buzzing coffee bar! This isn’t your average barista job – you’ll be the creative force behind every cup, brewing up new seasonal specialties, sourcing the finest beans, and adding a signature touch to each espresso and latte.

As our coffee guru, you’ll make menu recommendations as the go-to expert and ensure every guest enjoys a full spectrum of hot, cold, artisan, and specialty beverages, crafted to perfection. Your day-to-day will include overseeing inventory, maintaining top-notch quality control, and ensuring our coffee equipment is always in prime condition. You’ll inspire and train a team of baristas, guaranteeing that each experience is rich in flavour and sprinkled with warmth.

Reporting to the Outlet Manager, you’ll also be key in helping us create a coffee culture that keeps guests coming back for more.
