Are you passionate about crafting exceptional coffee experiences and creating moments of connection with every customer?

Starbucks is seeking enthusiastic individuals to join our team as Baristas. Baristas are the face of Starbucks, an important part of our customers’ day and experts in hand‑crafting delicious, perfect beverages. By bringing people together over coffee.

Starbucks has become one of the world’s best‑known and most loved companies.

Working at Starbucks is a lot like working with your friends. When you work here, you’re not an “employee” – we call ourselves “partners” because we believe in shared common goals and mutual success. Our partners are our most valuable resources.

As a Barista, you will have the opportunity to:

• Brew and serve high‑quality beverages using our world‑renowned recipes and techniques.
• Create a welcoming atmosphere for our diverse community of customers.
• Maintain cleanliness and organization of the store.
• Learn and grow in a supportive environment with opportunities for advancement.
• Be part of a global brand committed to sustainability, ethical sourcing, and positively impacting our communities.

We are looking for candidates who:

• Have a passion for coffee and a desire to learn and grow in the industry.
• Thrive in a fast‑paced, customer‑focused environment.
• Demonstrate exceptional communication and teamwork skills.
• Are dedicated to outstanding service in every interaction.
• Enthusiasm for coffee and willingness to learn.

Requirements:

• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Flexibility to work various shifts, including morning, evenings, and weekends.
• Grade 12 or equivalent.
• All our retail store partners begin their careers with us by undertaking an introductory training programme led by our amazing trainers and coaches.

This programme is designed to immerse you in the Starbucks culture and set you up for success.

These training programmes are delivered in our stores and provide partners with the opportunity to learn on the job, supported by their manager.

So, if you are looking for a new opportunity with us, you’ll be welcomed, challenged, and inspired. Here, you’ll be heard. Because here, you are part of it all. Here, you belong.

Please keep in mind that the application process requires pre‑employment checks such as qualification, reference and criminal checks, as well as the completion of online assessments.

Note that preference will be given to applicants who complete the online assessment.

Apply now to become a part of the Starbucks family and embark on a journey filled with opportunities, growth, and endless possibilities.
