Careers

Be You. With Us.

It’s more than just a job

Our goal since the very beginning has been to create a place for our customers that is comfortable, relaxed and warm. Our stores are a place to meet friends, work or just watch the world go by. A local neighbourhood spot.

And these values are so important to the people who work at Caffè Nero too. It’s our teams that make us special. That’s why we’re looking for warm, positive people who love working with others to come and join us.

It is certainly more than just a job. On top of great benefits, and the chance to work with an amazing bunch of colleagues, there are brilliant career opportunities in a variety of roles.

So if you take pride in what you do every day, want to be part of a fantastic team, with endless chances to learn and grow, then we would love to meet you.
