Job overview
We’ve just had a major makeover in our restaurant, and now we’re looking for fresh faces to join our buzzing team — including our We Proudly Serve® Starbucks counter!
What’s the role?
Think of it as a hospitality adventure! One day you’ll be crafting Starbucks® drinks for colleagues and customers like a barista boss ☕, the next you might be whipping up sandwiches, fruit pots, or helping place orders. You could even be rolling through the hospital with our retail trolley service, bringing snacks and smiles to staff and service users alike.
You’ll also be keeping our restaurant and counter looking clean, welcoming, and professional — because first impressions matter, and we like to sparkle ✨
We’re open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, so flexibility is key. Shifts run between 07:00 and 2000, and your shifts will be Thursday to Sunday
What’s in it for you?
- Full training (we’ll show you the ropes — and the coffee machine!)
- A chance to be part of a team that reflects our vibrant community
- A role that’s rewarding, fast-paced, and never boring
- Two weeks of Mon–Fri onboarding to get you up to speed
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, especially those from underrepresented groups. We want our team to be as diverse and dynamic as the people we serve.
Ready to stir things up and serve with pride?
Apply now and bring your energy, your smile, and your love for great food and coffee!
