Barista

We are looking for a highly experienced barista to join our team at The Good Paddock and Cubby Kiosk, set on the beautiful 11 Acre Farm in Forrestdale.

This is not your typical café role. We are a working hobby farm where produce is grown on site and thoughtfully woven into our menu. Surrounded by nature, animals, and open space, our venue offers a slower, more grounded style of hospitality that focuses on quality, connection, and experience.

About the role

This position is best suited to a confident, experienced barista who can take ownership of the coffee offering.

During the week, you will be responsible for running the coffee section solo. This means managing workflow, maintaining consistency, engaging with customers, and staying composed under pressure.

On weekends, you will work within a larger team during high volume service, where communication, speed, and teamwork are essential.

You will need to be someone who can multitask with ease, stay calm when things get busy, and maintain a high standard from the first coffee to the last.

What we are looking for

• Strong barista experience in a fast paced environment

• Ability to confidently run a coffee section solo

• Consistency in coffee quality and attention to detail

• Calm, organised, and efficient under pressure

• A team player who communicates well during busy service

• Someone who aligns with our values around sustainability and thoughtful hospitality

The role

• Ideally Wednesday to Sunday, with some flexibility

• We are closed Monday and Tuesday

• Mix of solo weekday shifts and team based weekend service

Why join us

This is an opportunity to step into a role where you can take real ownership of your craft while working in a unique farm setting. It is a chance to be part of a team that values quality, sustainability, and creating memorable guest experiences.

If you are looking for something beyond the standard café environment and want to be part of a venue that is connected to the land and its produce, we would love to hear from you.
