Be among the first 25 applicants. Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features. Tea is brewing. Café doors are opening. The day is about to start, and so are our café team members. They’re the talented people making every day a little better for our customers. Now, you can join them.
As a Team Member in our café, you're part of everything — a bit of cooking, a bit of chatting with customers, and a lot of impact. You’ll ensure that every dish you prepare and serve meets our menu promises and safety standards. You’ll also help keep kitchen equipment and customer tables tidy and clean.
This is a lively role with everyday challenges, but also flexible working hours, opportunities for progression, and more.
It’s our policy to offer new colleagues a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week. If you’d like to work fewer hours (to a minimum of 12), we have opportunities for this too and would love to hear from you.
The schedule shows the periods of time in the week we’d like you to be available to work. We will schedule contracted hours within these times, and you’ll have 3 weeks’ notice of your shifts. We are happy to support flexibility if your available times match closely but not exactly to the advertised times.
Please note that you need to be 18 or over to apply for this role.
