Team Leader (Barista Maestro) - Thanet - 24 Hours Per Week - Permanent

At Costa Coffee, we are what we craft. It's about blending beans with dedication, serving up memorable moments, and proudly making greatness every day.

And as a Team Leader, you can too.

So, why Costa?

Starting pay GBP12.93 - GBP13.93 per hour, rising with training to GBP13.43-GBP14.43 (depending on store location)

We're a global coffee brand 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

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 community agenda come in. Whatever your role, you can help us change lives in coffee-growing communities and support your local community too.
