Keep great coffee moving and grow your customer-facing coffee experience
We’re looking for an experienced barista or coffee professional who enjoys working with people, sharing knowledge and getting out on the road.
As our Coffee Trainer & Delivery Driver, you’ll combine regular coffee deliveries with foundation-level barista training and practical customer support. Around three days each week will usually focus on deliveries, with two days dedicated to training and customer visits, although the balance will flex according to demand.
You’ll become one of the most familiar faces our customers see. Delivering their coffee reliably, building positive relationships and offering practical advice that helps their teams serve consistently great coffee.
This is a strong first step into Account Management for someone who already understands specialty coffee and hospitality but wants to build experience in customer relationships, field support and commercial awareness.
You do not need to have worked as a formal trainer or delivery driver before. You may already coach newer baristas, lead shifts, help troubleshoot coffee quality or enjoy supporting customers and colleagues. We’ll provide training and support to help you grow into the role.
