**About the role**

We are looking for a **Head Barista** to lead the day-to-day coffee operations in our **Melbourne café**. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role where you’ll set and maintain the highest standards of coffee quality, while fostering a positive team culture that reflects the Allpress brand.

- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with FOH and kitchen teams
- A calm, supportive leadership style and ability to mentor junior team members
- A passion for hospitality and creating exceptional customer experiences

**Working at Allpress**

In addition to great company culture, we offer some nice staff perks including as much free coffee as you like while at work, 250g of beans to take home weekly, a free and confidential Employee Assistance Program, and a Wellbeing allowance.

**Diversity and Inclusion**

Allpress is committed to being an inclusive organisation where all people feel valued, respected and engaged. We pledge a commitment to:

- Building inclusive teams that represent all groups in society
- Empowering our people to continuously improve the way we work and promote equity
- Removing barriers and the influence of bias
