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.
• Support the wider store operation as a multi-skilled partner, including cleaning and store upkeep, replenishment, customer support, queue management and peak-period support.
• Maintain cleanliness and organisation of the store.
• Help ensure merchandise, consumables, condiment stations and other key areas remain well stocked, particularly during busy periods.
• Support customers and help maintain a welcoming café environment throughout the day.
• Assist with queue management and customer flow during high-volume periods.
• Complete supporting tasks that allow the team to remain focused on beverage production, handoff and service speed.
• 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:

• Are multi-skilled, adaptable and willing to support different areas of the store.
• Thrive in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment.
• Demonstrate exceptional communication and teamwork skills.
• Are dedicated to outstanding service in every interaction.
• Have a passion for coffee and a willingness to learn and grow.
• Take pride in maintaining a clean, organised and welcoming store environment.
• Are enthusiastic, reliable and willing to support their team wherever needed.

Requirements:

• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Flexibility to work various shifts, including mornings, 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.
