Dr. Martens
Dr. Martens is a globally recognisable and culturally influential British brand, with over 65 years of rich heritage. As brand custodians, we are lucky to work for a dynamic, thriving, and ethical business, with people from diverse backgrounds, who bring their true selves to work, and where anyone can grow their career.
At Dr. Martens, we live and breathe our 3 core values — they’re at the heart of who we are. They never stand alone but work together as a balancing act of rights and responsibilities to support how we work together at DMs. BE YOURSELF. ACT COURAGEOUSLY. SHOW YOU CARE. Our values also underpin the DM Way, our behavioural framework, which describes the 8 factors that drive success for our people.
We have opened a new kind of Dr. Martens store. One that blends retail, culture, and community. As part of this, we launched Doctors Orders, a café space that sits at the heart of the experience. This isn't a traditional barista role. Alongside serving great coffee, you'll help bring the space to life through events, activations, workshops, launches, and community moments that create reasons for people to visit, connect, and come back. We're looking for Baristas who bring energy, personality, and pride to every cup. Those who thrive in spaces where culture and people are just as important as coffee. This role would suit someone who enjoys being part of events, meeting new people, and creating memorable experiences, not just making great coffee.
