We're looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Espresso Bar Manager to lead our flagship café and help shape the next stage of its growth.

This isn't just another café manager role. You'll have the opportunity to influence the direction of the Espresso Bar, develop your team and introduce new ideas while working alongside one of the UK's most respected independent coffee roasters.

Working Pattern

Our Espresso Bar is open 8:00am–5:00pm, seven days a week.

This position is based on a rota and typically follows a 4 days on / 3 days off working pattern, providing an excellent work-life balance. Some flexibility is required to cover holidays, sickness and busy periods, but we aim to maintain this pattern wherever possible.

Weekend working is shared fairly across the management team.

A desire to continually improve standards and develop new ideas.
Full right to work in the UK.

The Role

As Espresso Bar Manager, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day running of Coffee World's Espresso Bar, leading a team with the support of two Assistant Managers.
