ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a reliable, friendly, and self-motivated Cafe Assistant / Barista to join our team. Operating from our unique, professional mobile catering trailer parked on-site at the GSG school group grounds, you will be the sole face of the business during your shift. While our workspace is located outside, our customers have access to a dedicated internal cafe seating area which we maintain. This is an exceptional hospitality role offering a consistent weekday schedule with absolute work-life balance, no late nights, no weekend shifts, and guaranteed core hours.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
· Solely managing the daily operations of the mobile trailer unit during your scheduled shift.
· Preparing and serving high-quality hot beverages (espresso-based coffees, teas) and bakery items efficiently.
· Providing warm, welcoming, and exceptional customer service to our community, school group members, and regular visitors.
· Operating the point-of-sale (POS) till system and handling digital card transactions accurately.
· Executing opening setup procedures at 07:30 AM & closing down procedures safely at 16:30 PM.
· Maintaining impeccable hygiene, cleanliness, and food safety standards inside the trailer workspace.
· Monitoring and managing the internal customer seating area tables, ensuring they are kept wiped down, presentable, and free of litter.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR (REQUIREMENTS)
· Previous experience working as a Barista or within a fast-paced hospitality/cafe environment is highly desirable.
· Strong communication skills and a friendly, confident personality when dealing with the public.
· Excellent time management and reliability, punctuality is critical as you will be opening the unit at 07:30 AM.
· Ability to work independently and confidently using your own initiative without direct day-to-day supervision on the floor.
· Knowledge of food hygiene and health and safety standards (a Level 2 Food Safety certificate is a plus, though training can be provided).
WHY YOU'LL LOVE WORKING WITH US
· Guaranteed fixed hours, predictable part-time schedules you can easily plan your personal life around.
· Fantastic work-life balance: Monday to Friday shifts only. Able to request the hours you want to work with myself and another member of staff.
· Independent working environment where your skills and ownership of the space are valued.
· Automatic workplace pension enrollment.
