We're currently looking for the right person to join our dynamic team as a Full-Time Event Barista to represent us and our client's prestigious brands such as Samsung, The New York Post, AstraZeneca and many more global brand names.

• Delivering and setting up espresso bars in a mobile setting whilst successfully navigating varied venues prior to the event starting
• When not onsite, you will be required to help with duties in the office and warehouse. This will include packing and preparing for events, equipment maintenance and cleaning, admin and general office support, coffee development (cupping and coffee selection etc) and training.

Our requirements from any applicants are:

• A full, clean driving license and the confidence to drive large vans.
• Eligibility to work in the EU, travel within the EU and hold a valid passport.
• An interest in speciality coffee. Previous experience and existing skills are preferred but not essential as full training and development will be provided on an ongoing basis

• Happy to travel and work away from home regularly and be flexible with work patterns
• Confidence and resourcefulness to work independently in different cities throughout the UK and Europe
• Well presented with a high standard of personal hygiene
• Be selfmotivated with an ability to work independently and manage other staff
• A positive 'can do' attitude and good initiative
• A good team player that will fit the positive and supportive culture of our organisation

The nature of the role means that you will be expected to work away from home and independently on a regular basis and so we need someone who is confident driving, talking to clients and delivering our coffee service independently.

We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming the right person to our team.
