Description

WE’RE HIRING A STUDENT - PART-TIME BARISTA
(2 positions available - one is for a Saturday shift each week, and one for a Sunday shift each week)
Join the award-winning TAG Café team in Eastcote

We’re TAG - an award-winning, community-focused independent café and one of the Top 10 cafés in the UK, recently named Hillingdon’s Hospitality & Leisure Business of the Year 2025.

We’re known for:
• High-quality, innovative drinks
• Freshly prepared and baked foods
• A lively, welcoming atmosphere
• Genuine, outstanding customer service

We’re busy, friendly, and we care about doing things properly, from our coffee to our community impact.

What we offer:
• £7.60+ per hour
• Tips
• Holiday pay & statutory sick pay
• Perks including EAP and team bonuses
• Free drinks on shift & heavy staff discount on food
• Full barista training
• A supportive, social team
• Opportunities to grow as we grow

Do you:
• Consider yourself a genuine people person with a positive attitude?
• Enjoy working in a fast-paced, on-your-feet environment?
• Stay calm, friendly and polite under pressure?
• Take pride in doing a job well, from latte art to wiping down a table?
• Work well in a team, communicating clearly with others?
• Show initiative? When the queue disappears, will you? Or will you find the next useful thing to do?

If you have previous hospitality or customer-facing experience, that is fantastic, but the right attitude and work ethic are more important. We’ll teach you the rest!
