We want to recruit people who are proud to work for us because a happy team equals happy customers.

We will provide comprehensive training and development to equip you with all the skills needed to deliver the perfect cup of coffee every time.

What’s involved?

• Crafting excellent coffee while taking time to get to know our customers by name.
• Serving customers with a smile to ensure they leave happy and eager to return.
• Learning about all Costa products – we do more than coffee.
• Working with your team to maintain health & safety and cleanliness across the store.
• Engaging with team members and customers to create a fun environment and build the store’s reputation as the best place to visit.

A bit about you

A passion for coffee and people is just the start. What else makes a great Barista?

• A positive outlook, can-do attitude, and personality.
• A commitment to excellence, even under pressure.
• Strong communication skills to connect with customers daily.
• A hardworking, multitasking mindset.

What we can offer

We value our team members and offer great perks and benefits:

• Starting pay of £12.21 per hour, increasing with training.
• STAR rewards, which can be exchanged on our online shopping platform.
• Extra STAR points on your birthday, work milestones, promotions, or for going above and beyond.
• Free handmade drinks and a 50% discount on food and bottled drinks while at work.
• Discounted gym memberships and no-commission foreign currency purchases.
• Wellbeing support through our Employee Assistance Program.
• Free eye care tests.
• Access to a 24/7 GP portal.
• Personalized training plans tailored to your needs.
• Opportunities to develop into different roles within Sim Trava.

Additionally, you’ll participate in fundraising events for local charities chosen by the team.

A bit about us

Founded in 2005 by Simon and Tracy Vardy, Sim Trava started in their basement in Altrincham, opening its first store on October 17th in Northwich, Cheshire. We aimed to open 5 stores in 5 years, reaching that goal early, and by 2010, we had 10 stores in the Cheshire/Manchester area.

In 2021, we celebrated our 40th store opening in Fallowfield, Manchester. We became the first franchise to purchase existing stores from equity, acquiring 17 stores across Preston, Blackpool, and Southport, bringing our total to 57 stores.

For reasonable adjustments or general queries, please contact us. Note that this role is for a store owned by one of our franchise partners; their hiring process, salary, and benefits may differ from those of a wholly owned Costa store.
