Barista

About Origin  

We’ve come a long way since 2004—and we’re just getting started. 

As one of the longest-standing independent coffee roasters on UK shores, the love of coffee fuels everything we do. We are on an exciting growth journey, striving to deliver our own unique take on speciality coffee and hospitality to more people than ever before. 

We build, nurture, and champion relationships at the source, celebrating producers, seasonality, and provenance. We support direct trade, traceability, and quality. From crop, to cup, every step of our journey is considered; we’re proud to be held accountable, always striving for better ways to do business, placing people and planet before profit. 

Our product spans more than just amazing coffee, we are also passionate about bringing the world of speciality to life through a programme of education. From teaching professional SCA qualifications to at-home enthusiast brewing courses. Our digital channels are also an opportunity for us to offer engaging learning content such as onsite ‘how to guides’ and inspiring social content series.  

We are proud to roast for some of the UK’s leading independent speciality coffee shops, bakeries, hotels, and restaurants. We have 1000’s of at-home coffee subscribers and 8 beautiful coffee shops across London, Cornwall, Bristol, and Edinburgh (opening Spring ’24). 

We currently have a unique opportunity for those looking to explore a summer in Cornwall, enjoy a swim in the sea before and after work, immerse themselves in a fun and active community, and explore Cornwall's beautiful scenery, discovering the vibrant food and drink scene and simply embracing the change.   

People come first, and this role is as much about face-to-face communication and relationships as they are about barista skills. Passion comes from your expertise in speciality coffee and love of customer service. Depending on the day of the week or time of day, you will be working with your talented colleagues or holding the fort. Being behind the bar is where you shine with a sense of pride in yourself and your work environment; here you’ll make anyone’s interaction with you an experience, supporting our ambition to build customer loyalty.   

We have a rigorous career pathway and so you will be expected to demonstrate your skill level; we will work with you and take you on your career journey, developing and investing in you. We love continuous improvement: everyone who works for us can discuss what this looks like for them.
