Vacancy: Experienced Barista (part-time)

Union St is a friendly and welcoming place where local workers pop-in to the cafe to take a break from their work for something tasty.

We serve award winning coffee roasted locally at Smith St alongside freshly baked pastries from 4 Eyes Patisserie and from 12:00 we support a rotating programme of local traders to serve their fresh menus of hot lunches, ranging from African Fusion to Sri Lankan thali.

Two our Baristas - Audrey and Holly - have less availability due to returning to Uni so we're looking to recruit an experienced Barista to join our small but lovely team.

Essential requirements include a minimum of one year in a previous Barista role, including basic latte art skills, so an initial step in the application process would be to invite you to pop-in and make us a flat white with a heart :)
