Tailor Your Resume for this Job


At Garrison Coffee Co, coffee is the craft… but hospitality is the difference. We’re building a café culture where standards are high, service is warm, and every guest feels genuinely looked after.

We’re looking for an ambitious Head Barista to step into the most senior role onsite, setting the pace of service, keeping quality sharp, and helping shape the way our café runs day to day. You’ll work closely with our directors, taking on real responsibility with a clear path to management for the right person.

Your Role

  • Lead service on bar with calm, focus, and consistency.
  • Set and maintain standards across coffee, food, and guest service.
  • Guide and support the team, coaching junior baristas and floor staff.
  • Oversee daily workflow and bar efficiency, making adjustments in peak periods.
  • Take responsibility for ordering (coffee, milk, food, disposables, cleaning supplies) and stock control.
  • Contribute to rostering and ensure smooth coverage across shifts.
  • Handle dial-ins, quality checks, and equipment care with precision.
  • Act as the main link between the team and directors, communicating clearly and constructively.
  • Bring energy, ideas, and operational improvements to help Garrison grow.

What We’re Looking For

  • At least 3 years’ full-time barista experience in a busy, quality-led café.
  • A genuine passion for specialty coffee, food, and hospitality.
  • A natural leader: organised, people-focused, calm under pressure.
  • Someone fully flexible across weekdays and weekends.
  • Ambition to step into a bigger role with the drive to grow into management.

What You’ll Get

  • 39+ hours per week in one of Athlone’s busiest specialty coffee shops.
  • Direct mentorship from the directors, with full training in ordering, stock, and operations.
  • A clear progression path to Café Manager for the right candidate.
  • A high-standard, ambitious workplace with plenty of opportunity to contribute and grow.
  • Competitive pay based on experience.

If you’re ready to lead with purpose, raise standards, and make your mark at Garrison, we’d love to hear from you.
