Catering Barista in London

Barista - Temporary / Zero-Hour | (Location, London)

£14.50 - £15.50 per hour (depending on experience)

We're recruiting experienced baristas for temporary and ad-hoc shifts across our London client base. This is for someone who knows their way around a traditional machine - dialling in a grinder, pulling a consistent shot, and steaming milk to a standard they'd happily put their name to.

Shifts are booked on a zero-hour basis, so you'll be offered work as it comes in and can take what suits you. Sites include (hotels, corporate cafés, independent coffee houses, schools and care homes).

What you'll be doing

• Preparing espresso-based drinks to a consistently high standard on a manual machine
• Dialling in grinders and adjusting through the day for taste and consistency
• Latte art to a good standard
• Daily cleaning, backflushing and basic machine maintenance
• Serving customers warmly and keeping the bar calm and tidy during peak service
• Stock rotation, waste control and opening/closing duties as required by the site
• Working to food safety and allergen standards at all times

What we're looking for

• Minimum 3 years' experience as a barista, including hands-on experience on a manual/traditional espresso machine (essential - fully automatic experience alone won't be enough)
• Solid grinder and extraction knowledge, and the confidence to adjust without being asked
• Reliable, punctual and comfortable walking into a new site and getting straight on with it
• Level 2 Food Safety (desirable / required)
• Right to work in the UK
• Two contactable references covering recent work
