Head Barista | New Opening – Westfield Hurstville
Wildflower Society is opening in Westfield Hurstville this October, and we're looking for an experienced Head Barista to join our opening team.
We're looking for someone who takes coffee seriously, enjoys a busy service and knows how to lead a coffee section properly.
You'll be joining us before opening, training with our existing teams and then taking ownership of the coffee bar at Hurstville from day one.
About the role
As our Head Barista, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day running of the coffee section, including:
Leading the bar during busy services
Producing consistently excellent coffee
Dialling in and maintaining espresso quality throughout the day
Setting standards around milk, presentation, speed and consistency
Training and developing the barista team
Keeping the coffee section clean, organised and ready for service
Managing coffee, milk and related stock
Working closely with the Venue Manager and FOH team
Building relationships with our regular customers
Helping create a strong culture within the new team
Who we're looking for
You don't need to be the loudest person behind the bar, but you do need to
care about what you do
.
We're looking for someone with:
Strong specialty coffee experience
Experience working in a busy, high-volume café
Confidence dialling in and adjusting grinders
Excellent milk texturing and coffee presentation
Good speed without sacrificing quality
Experience training or leading other baristas
Strong communication and customer service
Reliability and a genuine sense of ownership
Previous Head Barista or Senior Barista experience is preferred.
A new venue. A fresh start.
Hurstville is a
brand-new Wildflower Society location
, so this is a great opportunity for someone who wants to be part of an opening rather than simply filling an existing position.
You'll have the prospect to help establish the coffee standards, train your team and build your regular customer base from the beginning.
We're part of a growing hospitality group with established venues across Sydney, and there are opportunities to grow beyond the Head Barista role for the right person.
What we offer
Full-time position
Competitive salary based on experience
Training before the Hurstville opening
Immediate hours available at our existing venues
Brand-new venue and equipment
Support from an experienced hospitality team
Career progression as the group continues to grow
A workplace where good people and high standards matter
If you're passionate about coffee, confident leading a busy bar and looking for somewhere you can make your mark, we'd like to meet you.
