We are looking for someone as quirky as our cafés, with a warped sense of humour, shit chat and prides themselves on both service and coffee excellence.
Started in a former Victorian toilet, the Attendant was dormant for more than fifty years before being lovingly transformed into one of Europe’s most unique espresso and food bar spaces and 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 quality service, food menus and specialty coffee; it has fast become a favourite in both its home in Fitzrovia and in our more recent openings within Shoreditch and Clerkenwell.
We are currently looking to recruit baristas and front of house across all of 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 with the aim of being part of something greater.
We want a team player that 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 guests, prepare 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 serving quality products with a service to match.
At Attendant Roastery we believe coffee can be better! We only select green coffee that has a cupping score of 85 and above. We are currently building strong relationships with coffee growers that have amazing products, and who are in turn rewarded for their dedication to quality and consistency.
We believe that each coffee tells its own story. Each is different.  Each is Special. A coffee’s flavour is also infused with the place where its grown – local soil, climate, ecosystem, more commonly known as ‘terroir’.
We are able to share this with guests through our roasts, whether you prefer the clarity of a single origin filter or the complexity of an espresso. We roast and judge each cup of coffee on the way it makes us feel and experiences it evokes.
