A little more on this exciting opportunity:
We're looking for an experienced Barista to join our café team in Paihia ahead of the summer rush. You'll be behind the machine crafting the coffee we're known for, while keeping your cool when the queue's out the door. This is a Full-Time, seasonal-to-permanent role, 20–30 hours per week, with shifts across our opening hours (Mon–Fri 8am–2pm, Sat–Sun 8am–12pm). Weekend availability over summer is a must.

What you will bring:
* Proven barista experience with strong, consistent latte art and quality control
* Speed and composure during high-volume, high-pressure service
* Excellent understanding of food safety and hygiene practices
* Passion and genuine love for good coffee, good food, and great service
* Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
* A positive, adaptable, and team-focused attitude
* High standard of personal presentation and hygiene
* A genuine love for the Bay of Islands

What you will be doing:
* Preparing and presenting specialty coffee to a consistently high standard
* Managing the coffee station efficiently during busy summer periods
* Maintaining and cleaning equipment, and monitoring coffee/milk stock
* Supporting front-of-house when needed – from taking orders to clearing dishes
* Helping train casual summer baristas
* Ensuring food safety and health & safety compliance at all times

What We Offer:
We believe in treating our team well — and that means more than just free coffee.
* Competitive pay – earn well and feel valued
* Subsidized staff meals + off-shift discounts
* Flexible scheduling – let's find a rhythm that works
* A supportive team and chill work environment
* Stable hours beyond summer for the right person

Why Paihia:
Work and live in one of NZ's most beautiful coastal towns – whether you're an ocean lover, a sun-seeker, or just after a peaceful lifestyle, this is your chance.
