Join the VanillaCo Team
Luxury. Transparency. Innovation. Purpose.
At VanillaCo, we’re more than just a dessert studio, we’re a movement. Rooted in authenticity, sustainability, and inclusivity, our mission is to redefine indulgence and set new standards in allergy-conscious hospitality.
We believe in doing things differently, that’s why our hiring process is simple, transparent, and only one stage. No hoops. Just real people and real values.
What we're looking for
We’re building a dynamic, flexible team who are passionate about making people feel seen, safe, and spoiled. For this role, we’re seeking a fully trained, highly skilled Master Barista, someone who lives and breathes coffee and takes pride in delivering perfection in every cup.
You must bring proven experience in professional coffee-making, mastery of espresso machines, precise milk texturing, and advanced latte art. This is a specialist position, not an entry-level role, and you’ll be setting the coffee standard for VanillaCo.
You’ll also be part of our close-knit team, working across all areas of the store when needed:
- Front of House: greeting customers, taking orders, preparing exceptional coffee and drinks to VanillaCo’s luxury standard
- Back of House: preparing food with care, following strict allergy protocols
- Team Operations: clean-down, stock management, and setup duties as part of our service rhythm
We value curiosity, drive, and kindness, and we’re looking for someone who blends technical expertise with genuine warmth in every customer interaction.
Why Join Us?
- Up to £13 starting wage. We don't believe in minimum wage
- 10% of all profits donated to food banks and local charities
- Full in-house training in food safety, allergy awareness, and luxury customer service
- A culture of growth, purpose, and care
- Be part of a brand new, exciting concept redefining dessert culture
- Unlimited drinks of shift… we know it’s thirsty work
- Lunch on us
- Free parking locally
- 6 weeks of holiday, we believe in work hard play hard. Time off, de-stressing and family is just as important
What Makes Us Different
- No unpaid trials or unclear promises
- Commitment to a supportive, inclusive environment
- Hands-on founders and leadership who care
- A brand built on elevating others – both inside and outside our four walls
