We're looking for a skilled and passionate Barista to join the front-of-house team at our 60-seat café at Gloucester Food Dock.
This role is 16 hours per week and ideal for someone with solid barista experience, confident latte art skills, and a love of quality coffee and warm customer service. You'll also be a key holder, helping with opening and closing shifts as part of the wider team.
Hetty's Place opened in December 2023 and is the sister café to Hetty's Kitchen, known for our small-batch brownies and seasonal bakes. We serve all-day brunch, fresh deli items, and (very) good coffee.
What to Expect at Hetty's Place
* 28 days holiday (pro rata)
* Part of our NEST pension scheme
* Free box of brownies on your birthday
* 50 percent staff discount
* Team meals out, socials and food-focussed days out
* Seasonal product tasting
* Opportunities for progression as the business grows
What We're Looking For
We need someone who is already confident behind the machine, knows their way around espresso extraction and milk texturing, and can hold their own in a busy service.
Latte art skills are a must whether it's a heart or a rosetta, we want someone who takes real pride in every cup.
You'll also be a great team player, comfortable chatting with customers, answering questions about the coffee menu, and helping with food prep and service. Reliability, initiative, and a get-stuck-in attitude are key.
The Role Includes
* Dialling in and maintaining consistent espresso quality
* Preparing a range of hot and cold drinks to a high standard
* Greeting and serving customers
* Answering coffee-related questions confidently
* Key holder responsibilities, including opening and closing
* Keeping service areas clean and well-stocked
* Helping prepare and serve food items like toasties, salads, brownies and ice cream
* Keeping records such as fridge temperatures and cleaning tasks
* Contributing to a positive and efficient team environment
Skills and Experience
* At least 1 year of barista experience
* Confident latte art
* Comfortable dialling in and adjusting grind settings
* Friendly and professional customer service approach
* Food handling experience is helpful
* Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate (desirable but not essential)
* Positive, proactive attitude and a willingness to learn
