Starbucks Barista
Starbucks Team Member: Fuel the Village
At Village, we partner with Starbucks to bring world-class coffee and hospitality to our guests. If you thrive in the fast-paced caffeinated chaos of a high-energy café—where every day brings new challenges and endless chances to make a difference—this is your role.
About the Role
This isn’t just about brewing coffee. It’s about delivering an exquisite customer experience with a personal touch. You’ll remember regulars, handle rush hour with graceful calm, and ensure every drink and meal meets our exceptional standards. Think quick thinking, limitless energy, and the ability to keep the shops running seamlessly under pressure.
Your morning shifts will blend brilliant coffee expertise with hospitality masterclass—from perfecting espresso drinks to keeping the café meticulously clean and well-stocked. But here’s the tile: we’re looking for people who don’t just power through the rush—they own it.
What We Need From You
The Coffee Mastermind
- Knowledge first: Coffee nerds rule here. From distinguishing between macchiato and latte to mastering seasonal syrups, you’ll be the go-to for detailed drink recommendations—giving guests the perfect cup every time.
- Delivery dreams: From flat whites to breakfast bagels, you’ll ensure every item is flawless—the right temperature, the right consistency, the right Village warmth.
Cool Under Pressure
- This isn’t for the faint-hearted. If orders are flooding in and deadlines are tight, you’ll stay sharp, stay composed, and keep serving smiles—no panic, just performance.
- Speed meets precision: You’ll jump into action, multitask seamlessly, and de-escalate any chaos with ease (while juggling a plate, a coffee cup, and a busy franchise).
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.
The Unshakable Team Player
- Respect. Care. Accountability. Every team member at Village is valued and supported, especially in the whirlwind of a busy morning. You’ll lean on your squad when needed and stand by them when they can’t.
- Own it: If something’s off—a drink isn’t to taste, a table’s not set right, a comment needs addressing—you act. No blame, just problem-solving with grace.
The Detail-Driven Pro
- Sterile, spotless, and stylish: From food hygiene standards to the perfect arrangement of pastry displays, you ensure every detail aligns with the Village standard.
- Cost-conscious champion: Minimising waste and reconciling the till with ** accuracy is your responsibility**. This ensures the team stays sharp and on-brand, too.
How Village Thrives: Our Three Commitments
We Can & We Do

We Will
- Connect our coffee team with the wider hotel. Share promotions, encourage people to stop by for brunch, and keep selling the very best of Village—one sip at a time.
- Work collaboratively to evolve how Village serves customers, test new beverages, and grow the community around your café.
