Barista

At Costa Coffee, we are what we craft. It's about perfecting latte art, creating experiences that put a smile on people's faces, and proudly making greatness every day.

And as a Barista, you can too.

So, why Costa?

Pay rate of £12.60-13.60 per hour (dependent on the location of the store)

We’re growing day by day, with bold plans and some pretty brilliant perks to sweeten the deal:

• Access to the Coca-Cola share scheme, including matched contributions
• 50% discount on all your favourite food and drinks in Costa-owned stores
• A smart pension that is matched up to an amazing 10%
• The Costa Financial Support Fund, supporting team members who find themselves in unexpected financial pressure

We’re passionate about being a great place to work, where you can bring your real self into our mix. We firmly support diversity, equity and inclusion, and continue to work with our teams to shape the future of our culture and values: Disciplined to Deliver, Passion for Progress, Win with Warmth, Courage to Challenge and Trusted Team Players.

We may be a global brand, but we haven’t forgotten our roots. That’s where the Costa Foundation and our fantastic community agenda come in. Whatever your role, you can help us change lives in coffee growing communities and help your local community too.

What you’ll do

Being a Barista means so much more than making velvety cups of joy. It’s your chance to learn, challenge yourself and truly master your craft - which means you’ll be:

• Putting smiles on faces come rain or shine
• Mastering our menu, from toasties to seasonal drinks and more
• Pouring passion into perfect drinks and great customer service
• Keeping your store clean, tidy and welcoming
• Working with your colleagues to make your store the very best
