Barista

Applications are warmly invited for a Barista role based in Christiana. We welcome candidates from every background across North West who are ready to grow with us.

What This Role Involves

The organisation is investing in its Christiana operation, and this Barista position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the hospitality jobs function and contribute to the wider North West business.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the hospitality jobs team in North West make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Christiana teams, and the new Barista will feel that from the first week.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the hospitality jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Christiana much easier.

Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Barista is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in North West is consistently high and consistently fair.

Meet the Team

Crucially, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Christiana office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when North West operations get busy.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

Importantly, the team mix in Christiana reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
