Barista​/Cafe Assistant King's Cross plus tips

Are you an experienced barista looking for your next move?

At Redemption Roasters, we believe great coffee can change lives. Our mission is to reduce reoffending by training people in prison and supporting them into work on release - often in our own cafés.

After a busy few months, we're now hiring experienced baristas at our King's Cross branch.

Our baristas are the heart of our cafés - crafting every drink with care, greeting every guest, and bringing positive energy to the team. By supporting and encouraging others to do the same, you'll play a vital front-line role in delivering our social mission.

• Deliver warm, energetic hospitality that makes every guest feel seen and welcomed - things like remembering names and orders, making great conversation and lifting someone's day.
• Craft and prepare delicious coffee, drinks and food, with care and consistency.
• Keep your workspace clean, organised, and well-stocked - during service, not just at the end of the day.
• Work flexibly across all areas of the café - from front of house to bar to kitchen - stepping in where needed and always staying engaged.
• Follow food safety and hygiene protocols with care and attention to detail.
• Collaborate with teammates, offer help, and contribute to a positive team environment.
• Support programme participants and new starters by being approachable, reliable, and inclusive.

• Friendly, thoughtful, and reliable - someone who brings good energy to every shift.
• Passionate about great coffee, food, and service - and eager to keep learning and improving.
• Quick to spot what needs doing and happy to pitch in without being asked.
• Proud of your work, whether you're steaming milk, cleaning down, or chatting to a regular.
• Committed to working in a respectful, inclusive team and contributing to our wider mission.
• A consistent, proactive teammate who others can count on.
