About the Café

Tea is brewing. Café doors are opening. The day is about to start, and so are our café team members. They're the talented people making every day a little better for our customers. Now, you can join them.

Team Member Role

As a Team Member in our café, you're part of everything - a bit of cooking, a bit of chatting with customers, and a lot of impact. As someone dedicated to great service, you'll make sure that every dish you prepare and serve lives up to the promise of our menu and meets all safety standards.

Along with this, you'll help keep everything, from kitchen equipment to customer tables tidy and clean. It's a lively role, full of everyday challenges, but that's just one of the reasons it's so exciting. A few other reasons include flexible working hours, opportunities for progression and so much more.

It's our policy to offer new colleagues joining us a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week, but if you'd like to work fewer hours (to a minimum of 12) we have opportunities for this too and would still love to hear from you.
