Join our training team! Barista Trainer opportunity at Hub International

Are you looking for a change of pace from the daily grind?

Do you have a keen interest in coffee and a passion for building skills in others?

Ready to rise to a new challenge? If so, we want to hear from you!

At Hub International we are looking for an experienced barista to join the team and help us develop the next generation of café superstars.

Trainee Barista

Training on the coffee machine at schoolWhat does a normal day look like?

As a barista trainer there are many different challenges from a standard day in a café.

The majority of our young trainees will have never made a coffee before, and so the right person will be patient and encouraging while supporting them through this process. We work very closely with schools and charities who support young people to get in to work (sometimes for the first time), so positivity and support is at the heart of what we do. No day will be the same, you might be teaching a school group how to froth milk one day and serving the public in a pop-up educational event the next.

Our team can travel all over the central belt, and often beyond, so while a drivers license and car is not essential, flexibility to travel is required from time to time.

What are we looking for in our Barista Trainer?

  • A natural passion for delivering hospitality
  • A confident barista with excellent communication skills
  • Patience, some of our trainees will need more support than others
  • Flexibility and willingness to travel to more than one location in a day
  • Hospitality Management or supervisory experience is beneficial but not essential

  • Very limited weekend work, we are busiest Monday to Friday, mainly daytimes!
  • Annual leave during school holidays & no more working during Christmas festivities
  • Regular appraisal, funded qualifications and room to progress within our company
  • A rewarding role where you can watch those you train develop and grow in confidence
  • Trips to a ton of coffee houses and exciting industry experiences

If this sounds like the right fit then get in touch, we are eager to meet likeminded people with a shared love of coffee!

Time for an adventure?

Ever wanted to travel the world and get paid for it?

Hub International Ambassadors do!

What does Hub International do?

We work in partnership with our clients to support their businesses and our industry to grow, we like helping others to be the best they can be through expert consultancy, innovative training and bespoke recruitment strategies. We can’t think of a better industry to be a part of, everyone in the world loves to eat & drink and together with our Hub Ambassadors we can be a part of shaping the future of food, drink & service.

Our aim? Our ultimate goal is to make our industry one of the most sought after career choices for youngsters. We want hospitality businesses to be great places to work, with support and development on offer for all levels of staff meaning we never have to loose top talent from the trade.

Who are Team Hub?

We are a quirky collective of like minded souls, we have serious talents in all corners of the industry, from mentoring, to mixology, menu development or molecular gastronomy and we take our roles as industry ambassadors super seriously. We are all different, but we all share the desire to help others succeed and share our skills. This is not just a job to us, we are so passionate about our careers that we burst with pride when we talk about them to anyone who will listen!

What do we need?

Like what you hear so far? Then we need you, new talent to join the team. Some of our projects are right here on home turf, so you might want to dip your toe in and work with us a couple of days here and there across the UK alongside your other commitments, but for the adventure seekers out there we have some once in a life time international opportunities to teach your specialism overseas. This might require you to be away from home for a couple of weeks, or months at a time in some far flung corners of the earth, so if you fancy getting away from it all, just sign up and see what we could have in store for you.

All Flights, accommodation, expenses will be covered on top of a decent consultancy fee for the right people.

What about experience?

You ideally need to have great all round knowledge of hospitality, having dedicated your career to date to the trade, you could be a teacher already or an award winning bartender ready to try something new but you must be willing to teach in any subject area. As well as the desire to teach, you must have your own Mastermind-esk area of expertise, this could be service, sales, management, drink, events or cookery to name only a few. You must be a confident public speaker and have the ability to train and encourage others, so perhaps you already train staff in your workplace and are keen to learn more? This could be the next step for you!

Hub projects do vary so in skill level required, time and commitment needed, so if you’re just at the early stages of thinking about teaching but haven’t a clue where to start please do still get in touch – we have opportunities for beginners as well as the demand for absolute pro’s!

To apply in confidence please send a CV, Video or email to info@hi-people.org specifically telling us about yourself, your area of expertise and why this opportunity appeals to you.

Info sessions and Interviews will be arranged for the shortlisted applicants within 14 days or your application, if you are not shortlisted for the summer projects we will keep your details on file for the future.

Thanks for reading we hope to hear from you soon!
