Barista

Purpose of the role
We’re looking for baristas to join us for the summer at Origin, with potential for longer-term roles.
You’ll work across our Roastery Café in Porthleven and our new opening in Marazion. This is hands-on speciality coffee, with consistent quality, great service, and a real focus on customer connection.
What you’ll do
- Serve exceptional coffee, every time.
- Share your knowledge and help customers discover more.
- Look after your space and your team.
- Represent Origin’s values of provenance, transparency and care.
- Bring energy and positivity, making hospitality feel good for everyone.
What we’re looking for
- Passion for coffee and hospitality.
- A calm, focused approach under pressure.
- A natural storyteller who connects with people.
- You understand that great service should feel warm, relaxed and fun, without ever dropping standards.
- Previous experience behind the bar helps but attitude matters most.
The detail
- Seasonal role (summer 2025), with potential to go permanent.
- Based across both sites so you’ll need your own transport.
- Daytime hours, no late nights.

You’ll get SCA-accredited training, learn from some of the best trainers, educators and leaders in the industry, and have clear progression opportunities if you want to build a career in speciality coffee.
