Cafe Manager

Bailies Coffee Roasters; Oxford; On-site; GBP 25,000 - 35,000

Job description

We are a family-run company sourcing, roasting and brewing single-origin Colombian coffees since 2012. Environmental sustainability is our priority, and we are constantly looking for ways to reduce our carbon emissions and support different projects locally and in the coffee-producing communities we work with.

Our coffee comes from our family farm as well as small coffee farms located at high altitudes in different producing regions of Colombia that offer a variety of tasting notes. Having a direct relationship with our farmers guarantees the quality of the coffee we receive because we exchange constant feedback on farming practices, processing methods and sustainability to achieve outstanding cup profiles.

In-house roasting in Oxford then ensures the freshness of our coffee.

Last but not least, our highly skilled baristas put the final touch of magic to share the journey of coffee love in every cup we serve at our two café locations in the historic Covered Market and Summertown, and our roastery in Wheatley.
