Head Barista

HEAD BARISTA

Liverpool Street, London  |  £36,000 per annum  |  Monday to Friday

Great coffee. Exceptional service. Brilliant hospitality.

We’re looking for a standout Head Barista who knows their espresso from their extraction time - and knows how to make every customer feel like a regular.

Join Houston & Hawkes at a prestigious, busy international law firm near Liverpool Street. You’ll be the face of the coffee offer, bringing energy, confidence and exceptional coffee skills to a premium workplace. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves the buzz of service, enjoys building relationships and takes genuine pride in every cup.

YOUR ROLE

• Take ownership of the coffee experience, consistently preparing outstanding espresso-based drinks with speed, precision and beautiful presentation.
• Create a warm, upbeat atmosphere, remembering regular customers, engaging naturally and making service feel personal.
• Lead by example during busy periods, supporting colleagues, maintaining smooth service and setting high standards across the coffee area.
• Keep coffee equipment, displays and service areas immaculate, stocked and ready for the day; maintain food safety, hygiene and allergen standards.
• Share your coffee knowledge, coach colleagues and bring fresh ideas to elevate the customer experience.

THE PERSON WE’D LOVE TO MEET

You’re an experienced, confident barista with excellent knowledge of professional coffee machines, espresso extraction, milk texturing and latte art. You’re bubbly, approachable and genuinely enjoy talking to people. You stay calm when the queue builds, notice the little details and have the confidence to take ownership of a busy coffee operation.
