Barista

Are you looking for a job with a difference? A job that gets you out there, working with people whose passion is the great outdoors? Cadence could be the choice for you…

Cadence is a fast-growing group of café and activities hubs serving the booming, outdoor-loving community. Cadence was conceived by avid outdoor enthusiasts who saw an opportunity to provide a unique mix of services to this distinct and thriving customer base.

Sited at key points on the South's most popular outdoorsy routes, including the beautiful South Downs Way, our Cadence Hubs offer cyclists, runners, locals and hikers the perfect rest stop and a chance to connect with like-minded people - all while enjoying our great coffee and mouth-watering menu.

The Cadence concept combines the things we love about life: the great outdoors, great coffee, great food and great people. We stand for health, fitness and responsible enjoyment of our stunning environment.

We are looking for a couple of experienced Barista's with a passion for great coffee and first-class customer service, with outstanding organisation and time-keeping skills. Along with the daily role of making coffee and serving customers, additional responsibilities include dialling in grinders, coordinating stock levels, supporting the lead barista and hub manager, liaising with our local roasters for seasonal blends and creating new and exciting drink recipes!

This is a great opening for a self-motivated, enthusiastic and experienced individual with strong interpersonal skills, and a keenness to learn. An interest in cycling would be ‘a nice to have’ but not a requirement.

What we are looking for

• Someone with a year's experience in a Barista level coffee
• Flexible working hours
• Good interpersonal and communication skills, with confidence and passion
• Strong organisational and time management skills
• A good working knowledge of equipment and maintenance
• Weekend availability is a must

An example of some tasks you'll do on a daily basis:

• Welcoming and serving customers
• Preparing high quality coffee with care and attention
• Ensuring the coffee machine and grinders are kept in top condition
• Preparing toasties. All our staff are cross-trained, so you will be required to spend time in our kitchen. (The menu is very simple)
• Ensuring the cafe runs smoothly, and is kept clean and tidy
• Keeping an eye on stock levels and informing your supervisor/manager of what needs ordering

Requirements

• Own transport or parents who are willing to drop you off at weekends (our locations is off the beaten track!)
• Mid-week shifts though it would be ideal to have your own car
• Willingness to work most weekends and bank holidays

Perks & Benefits:

• £11.75 p/h
• Free food
• Employee discount
• On-site parking
• Super fun working environment
