Part-time barista sought at Hop Burns & Black

[jenf]

With the sad news that our longest-serving team member and local comedy legend Lewis is leaving the nest after more than seven years, we're looking for a new superstar to join us at Hop Burns & Black's East Dulwich Road store on a part-time basis.

The role comprises 12-15 hours a week. Saturday and Sunday availability is essential, with the occasional weekday shift too, if desired.

Barista experience in specialty coffee is required - while we'll provide training in how we do things at HB&B, you should be familiar with professional coffee machines (ours is a 2 Group La Marzocco Linea Classic) and ready to hit the ground running, confident of making great coffee every time in an often high-paced environment.

Great customer service skills are also essential and we hope you'll have an interest in the products we sell, especially craft beer and wine. (We'll also teach you to love hot sauce if you don't already.)

Our ideal candidate will be local to our SE London outlets. You'll need to work well as part of a team and be capable of opening the store in the mornings and working sole charge on occasion, so reliability is key. A friendly personality and great sense of humour is a given!

The start date is ~23 September, although ideally you will have availability prior to this date for a (paid) training and induction session. We are a London Living Wage employer - our base rate for this position is £11.05, with a higher rate for sole charge supervisory shifts. We offer a generous staff discount and loads of opportunities to gain more knowledge in craft beer, natural wine and hot sauce through formal and informal tastings, festivals and other activities. You'll be joining a small, experienced, friendly team and a lot of fun is guaranteed.

If you fit the above criteria, we'd love to hear from you. Please email us - joinus(at)hopburnsblack.co.uk - with your CV and a cover letter by Sunday 11th September.
