Since opening Shoreditch Grind in 2011, we've expanded across the city with cafés, coffee shops, trucks, and a state-of-the-art coffee roastery. Now, we’ve opened our first location outside of London, in the centre of Manchester.</span></p><br><p dir="ltr"><span>Coffee is at the forefront of what we do and who we are. We are coffee specialists and have always aspired to deliver the best quality, service, and consistency of product at all our Grind locations. Each of our cafés has an incredible team serving speciality coffee, mixing cocktails, and cooking amazing food—all to the beat of a great playlist. Now, we’re looking to build another all-star team for our very first café-restaurant in the heart of Manchester, in St Michael’s Square.&nbsp;</span></p><br><p dir="ltr"><span>Every team at every location is involved in our mission to use coffee as a force for good. Whether it’s through sourcing avocado peel straws and recycled material containers on site, creating the UK’s first home-compostable coffee pods, or using 100% plastic-free packaging, we want to be the world’s most sustainable coffee company. &nbsp;We set up our own charity, the Better Coffee Foundation®, to undo the damage caused by the global coffee industry by recovering ocean-bound plastic with every coffee pod, iced coffee can, and cup of coffee we sell.</span></p></div><!----></div><div ngcontent-ng-c981065802="" data-testid="requirements-overview-section"><div ngcontent-ng-c981065802="" role="heading" aria-level="5" class="pad-b-8 b-heading"> A bit about the role. </div><div ngcontent-ng-c981065802="" class="section-content-container"><p dir="ltr"><span>We are looking for a passionate and talented Sous Chef to help lead our Grind kitchen which is busy, fast paced and full of energy.
