North Star is a coffee company and family united by a love for great coffee and a desire to protect all it supports. We were founded with the aim of proving that a quality and impact-led approach creates viable business models across our supply chain to ultimately build an industry that works for everyone. This is our guiding star and our basis for decision making around further growth, helping to build impact into all that we do.

We are recruiting for new Baristas / FOH servers to join our coffee shop teams both at Leeds Dock and at our takeaway kiosk on Sovereign St. As advocates and representatives of our overall brand, these roles are of great importance to our business which encompasses a wholesale coffee customer base (supplying hundreds of coffee shops nationally), an online shop retailing directly to the consumer alongside our soon to launch coffee training offering.

You will access world class training, get to have a glimpse into the art of coffee roasting alongside working with some of the best coffees in the world.
