Do you have an attention to detail? Are you able to lead a team of passionate individuals to facilitate the development of a dynamic and evolving work environment? If you have the mindset of an entrepreneur looking to develop their operational management skills this could be the role for you.
Attendant started in a former Victorian toilet, built around 1890 and mothballed in the 1960’s, it was dormant for more than fifty years before being lovingly transformed into one of Europe’s most unique espresso and food bar spaces. We are considered one of the top 10 specialty coffee shops in London.
Bursting onto the scene in 2013, the Attendant has been going from strength to strength. Offering bespoke sandwiches and specialty coffee; it has fast become a favourite in both its home in Fitzrovia and far beyond. We have since opened sites in both Shoreditch and Clerkenwell.
We are currently recruiting Assistant Managers across our sites. Our standards are very high; we seek individuals who want to be involved in a young dynamic company and will bring their own passion, enthusiasm and knowledge to the business.
We want a team player who will fit in with our ethos on quality, hospitality and customer service. We seek someone who is fast, efficient, consistent and clean. Someone who is particular but still able to serve customers, prepare food/coffee quickly and most importantly build a relationship with our new and current customers.
We’re looking for a real coffee geek who knows their stuff and loves working with coffee (obviously) as well as a real foodie. It’s a labour of love at the Attendant!
Our Head of Coffee profiles and roasts our own espressos and filters. As an assistant manager we are looking for a leader who is also well-educated in coffee to assist in passing knowledge and passion onto our staff and guests.
