Barista and Junior Coffee Trainer Position

Barista and Junior Coffee Trainer Position

Melbourne Coffee Academy is looking to hire a casual barista / junior trainer to join our team, focusing on our Ringwood coffee bar and training site from Monday - Friday.

This is not a normal barista role, nor will it be a barista trainer role - it’s a hybrid of both. The main role will be operating a coffee bar at Waterman Eastland in the mornings with the plan to eventually equip the right candidate to be a trainer at MCA. We are looking for the right person - character, work ethic and people skills come first. However, at least 2 years of solid experience in a specialty coffee cafe/roaster would be necessary as you will need to be able to work independently, dial in coffees, pour latte art and teach basic barista skills. Clear communication and attention to detail are crucial.

We want to make it clear that this is not a role for new baristas. It’s also not a role for super-experienced ones. We want someone who loves coffee and is passionate about training and education but hasn’t had the opportunity to train yet. We have 2 other dedicated training locations and you will be part of our monthly cuppings, R&D sessions and team meetings… Between us, we have over 60 years of experience in the industry and are keen to add the right person to the team.

To apply, please email [email protected] with your resume, cover letter and references. Applications close on April 2 with the role to begin at the end of April. Only suitable candidates will be contacted for interviews.
