Senior Barista / Supervisor for Scandinavian cafe in London

Hej.

We are a friendly Scandinavian Café & Shop that strives to provide a genuine experience with food from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland. Since we opened in 2007, we’ve grown to be a very busy Café & Shop, as well as supplying Nordic foods online across the UK. We are passionate about where we come from and what we do – as well as the foods we eat.

We are currently looking for a full-time experienced Barista. You will be working in our Café & Shop close to Oxford Circus in London. We’re looking for a lovely, keen, and enthusiastic individual who has excellent interpersonal skills and who’s a team player. In this role, you’ll be working both the coffee machine and serving food in the café. Some days, you will also be helping customers in our grocery store. It’s a nice, varied role with scope to learn and progress.

Essential skills and experience:

• Barista experience in a similar setup
• Looking for a supervising role and to grow and take more responsibility
• Experience in the hospitality sector is essential
• A hard worker with a can-do attitude and an eagerness to learn
• Great customer service skills and full of positivity
• Ability to work in an organized and tidy manner
• Strong logical approach and ability to work in a fast-paced environment
• A real team player who cares about doing things for the greater good of the team
• A Nordic language is very helpful (but not essential)

What's on Offer:

Hourly starting rate is £13.25 an hour, rising with experience. We work around 40 hours a week (across 5 days). Food is provided when you’re on shift (and 50% off café food when you are not working, 20% in the grocery shop). Training is provided, and there is a chance to progress the role over time to Management level. This role is full-time, and we are unable to offer this as a part-time role at this time.

To apply, please send a CV and short cover letter to us, telling us why this role is perfect for you. We look forward to hearing from you.
