About the Role
Friendly, hard-working, and (almost certainly) a morning person: it’s the team members of our cafés who create the friendly, familiar environment to complement our extensive range of homemade soups, hot food, sandwiches, salads, and freshly-blended juices.
As a company, we look for enthusiastic, friendly, and personable team members who show a dedication to the smaller details. Experience as a barista is highly desirable, but we believe a warm personality and keen organisational skills are equally as important.
This role will be based at our café based at Jersey Airport, as well as some shifts at our cafes in St Helier. Candidates must be prepared to start some shifts at 5:00am or 6:00am, and will also need to provide 5 years' checkable employment references and complete a criminal record check through Disclosure Scotland in order to obtain an Airside Pass.
What We Offer
This role has an annual basic salary of £32,000 for a 40-hour-per-week contract (equivalent to a basic hourly rate of £15.38 per hour), with all overtime paid.
Our employees also have access to a generous benefits package, including:
- Meals provided while on duty
- Staff discount across our restaurant and café businesses
- Christmas Day off, as well as your birthday (after one year’s employment)
Right to Work
This is an imminent hire and, as such, we regret that there would not be enough time to acquire a work permit and visa for a candidate. Applicants to this particular role should have the immediate right to work in Jersey or the United Kingdom (Jersey, UK, or Irish passport; EU Settled or Pre-Settled Status; or Indefinite Leave to Remain).
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Throughout the year, we advertise a variety of roles where we are able to apply for a work permit and visa in time; if you do not have the immediate right to work in Jersey or the UK, please instead apply to one of our "Fixed-term" vacancies at https://harri.com/jprestaurants
Contract and Hours
This is a permanent, full-time role (with minimum, contracted hours of an average of 40 hours per week across the month). Our teams are working up to 50 hours per week during busy periods, with all overtime paid.
A work-life balance is important to everyone in the business and, while we appreciate when colleagues can help out further in busier periods, we strive to ensure that everyone works a 5-day week on a regular basis.
Accommodation
The Company can arrange accommodation for those moving to Jersey. Accommodation is more expensive in Jersey than other parts of the British Isles, and accommodation in the local market ranges from approximately £700 (single room) to £1,500 (one-bedroom flat) per month.

We offer fantastic choice for customers with allergies and dietary requirements, and provide our teams with detailed specifications and information for addressing queries. Across all of our restaurants and cafes, we’ve placed an emphasis on digitalisation and processes, in order to enhance our customers’ experience, ensure our service runs smoothly, and build a better working environment for our colleagues.
JPRestaurants has over 75 years of history, starting in 1946 as a small, family-owned pottery studio which became one of the Island's busiest and most popular tourist attractions. The coffee bar on the site of the ceramics factory and showroom was the beginning of Jersey Pottery Restaurants (which is now called JPRestaurants), which is still family-owned and managed by the third generation. As an established and popular local business, we look to work for the benefit of our community and environment through careful management of our suppliers, good working conditions, and initiatives to support others less fortunate than us.
