DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
You love coffee and food.
You’re brimming with ideas.
You want every day to be better than the last.
You’re always on the lookout to learn.
You’re passionate about what you do.
You want to join a team that feels the same.
WHY WE WANT YOU!
Personality! We’re looking for people that bring all of themselves to work every day. Coffee is our world and inspires us all, so we get really excited when we find people who love it as much as we do. We believe in a lifelong journey of learning so your goals and ambitions are really important to us. (Please check out our People & Passion page to see some of our amazing team)

- An open working environment where you can let your personality shine.
- A learning journey to support you in your role and your career development.
- Paid breaks and some wonderful Gather & Gather coffee and food to keep you going.
What this means for you as a Barista is a well-rewarded role, recognised not just for the friendly and client service you’re providing but for the personality, ideas and genuine enthusiasm you bring with it. Yes, you will be assisting with all the usual tasks (Coffee preparation, cleanliness, payment procedures, etc.) but you’ll also be part of our bigger purpose as a business; bringing food and people together by putting the customer at the heart of everything we do.
OUR IDEALS
Our FOOD ideals set the tone of the business for everyone who comes into contact with it. They provide a way to easily, clearly and consistently communicate what it means to be part of Gather&Gather.
Using your role to bring our ideals to life is therefore just as important as the specific duties and tasks
