Full Description

We’ve got an exciting position for an experienced Barista/Bar Assistant to be a crucial member of the team in our newest restaurant based in Coggeshall. Featuring day time hours with just one or two evenings a month, you will be working alongside the team to help prepare breakfast and lunch dishes and preparing food for the day ahead.

We serve up to 500 covers a day, so naturally we’re looking for a candidate who isn’t too flustered in a busy kitchen and can crack on and deliver great quality food.

We’ve been on the scene for 10 years now and have gone from a little tea room that held just 18 covers to being a staple in the Maldon community and seating up to 200 covers at any one time! We’ve since opened up new sites in Wickham Bishops & Coggeshall. We’re a family run, independent business but that doesn’t mean we’re inefficient or small by any means. We’re keen to offer training and courses where necessary, and there is potential for role growth as the business evolves.

What we would require from you:

• At least two years experience in a similar role
• Weekend availability
• Some degree of flexibility to cover holidays
• A great level of cleanliness and hygiene
• Able to drive to and from location – there are no public transport links to the site

Responsibilities

• Prepare and serve hot and cold drinks to a high standard (coffee, tea, milkshakes, etc.)
• Operate the espresso machine and other bar equipment safely and efficiently
• Maintain cleanliness and organisation of the bar and service areas
• Ensure all drinks and displays are beautifully presented and stocked throughout service
• Follow food safety and hygiene procedures at all times
• Deliver friendly, professional customer service in line with Mrs Salisbury’s values
• Assist with opening and closing duties, including restocking and cleaning
