Perth, Western Australia Hot Bread Retail Group PL and Big Loaf PL Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Head Barista (Full Time) – Big Loaf Factory Shop, O'Connor WA

Be the Standard. Lead the Brew. Join One of Perth's Most Loved Bakery Cafés.

We're on the hunt for a Head Barista who can do more than just make a great coffee — we want someone who can set the standard and lead a high-performing team where every coffee is made consistently, expertly, and fast — no matter who's behind the machine.

At the Big Loaf Factory Shop in O'Connor, we're known for our energy, quality, and seriously good baked goods — but we need you to make sure our coffee offering matches the hype. This is a full-time leadership role (including one weekend day), perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced setting, has rock-solid people management skills, and can troubleshoot in the moment without breaking a sweat.

The Role: What You'll Do

  • Lead and coach our barista team to deliver flawless, consistent coffee every shift.
  • Ensure no customer can tell who made their coffee — just that it's great.
  • Keep service fast, smooth and friendly, even when the line's out the door.
  • Train new staff and help everyone level up their barista game.
  • Oversee inventory, maintenance, cleaning, and quality control.
  • Work closely with retail and bakery teams to ensure smooth day-to-day operations.
  • Be the problem-solver when things go sideways. You're calm, quick, and in control.

What You Bring

  • Strong barista skills and at least 1–2 years in a leadership or supervisory role.
  • A deep love for consistency — you care that every coffee is just right.
  • The ability to coach and mentor, not just manage.
  • Fast thinking, a solution-first mindset, and a steady hand under pressure.
  • Strong communication and time management.
  • Availability for full-time work, including one weekend day per week.

What You'll Get

  • A full-time role in a buzzing, well-loved local spot with real impact.
  • A chance to own and shape the coffee program and build a culture of quality.
  • A great team culture, with support from bakery and wider leadership.
  • Access to Perth's best baked goods (yes, we're biased — but also right).
  • Part of a wider group with exciting new venues and career opportunities.
