Head Barista (Soho)
Sacred Grounds, located in the heart of Soho, is looking for an experienced Head Barista to join and lead our dedicated team. We’re a coffeehouse rooted in community, inclusivity, and high standards, and we’re looking for someone who can embody those values in everything they do.
Responsibilities include:
- Operate and maintain our high-end coffee equipment, including a La Marzocco KB90 machine and a Mahlkönig E80 Supreme grinder, ensuring consistent, top-quality speciality coffee.
- Lead, inspire, and support our team of baristas, fostering an environment of continuous improvement and passion for coffee.
- Oversee daily operations, including maintaining high standards of quality, cleanliness, and customer service.
- Work closely with management to develop and implement coffee-related initiatives, creating an unforgettable coffee experience that aligns with our brand.
- Provide ongoing training, support, and mentorship to team members, ensuring consistent skills development and product knowledge.
- Monitor and manage inventory levels, order supplies, and keep a well-organised stock system.
- Ensure a warm, inclusive, and welcoming atmosphere for both customers and staff, upholding the unique culture of Sacred Grounds.
About the Opportunity:
Joining Sacred Grounds as the Head Barista means becoming part of a coffeehouse that values community, inclusivity, and positive connections. As we’re affiliated with St Anne’s Church, we ask for a respect for the Christian ethos that shapes our space, but we warmly welcome applicants of all faiths or none. We’re proud to cultivate a diverse, welcoming team where everyone feels at home.
This role offers a position either part-time at 30 hours per week or full-time up to 40 hours per week. We’re open to flexible working arrangements, including four-day workweeks, to support individual lifestyles. Regular working hours are scheduled between 7:30am and 7:30pm, with occasional later shifts for events, and weekend availability is required.
We also offer a range of benefits to make working here rewarding - from a £100 birthday bonus and free barista-made drinks on shift, to 50% off all food and other drinks. You’ll have access to the cycle-to-work scheme, free venue hire once a year for your own special occasion, and opportunities to train directly with our roastery to keep growing your coffee skills.
Key Qualities We’re Looking For:
- Extensive experience as a barista in a speciality coffee setting.
- Strong leadership skills with the ability to inspire and uplift team members.
- Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment, multitasking with excellent attention to detail.
- Exceptional communication and customer service skills, creating positive interactions with customers.
- Commitment to maintaining a clean, organised, and well-presented environment.
- A passion for high-quality coffee and a genuine interest in contributing to a meaningful community space.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your coffee career and join us on our mission to create a standout coffee experience in Soho, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply today and be a part of Sacred Grounds’ journey!
