Come join us at Gorse Café!

Baristas / Front of House / Back of House / Kitchen Porters – Seasonal Roles
Location: Gorse Café at Comrie Croft
Start: ASAP – End of October 2025
Hours: Full-time and part-time available

We’re opening up our brand-new Gorse Café at Comrie Croft and we’re looking for friendly, hardworking folk to help us bring it to life this season!

Whether you're a seasoned barista, a whizz in the kitchen, or just love making people feel welcome, we’ve got a spot for you. You’ll be working in a stunning location just outside the village of Comrie, surrounded by trails, wildflower meadows, and the buzz of outdoor life.

The roles

We’re hiring for several positions:

• Baristas – coffee lovers who can pour a cracking flat white and chat to customers with a smile.

• Front of House – warm, welcoming people to take orders, serve up delicious food, and keep the café space tidy and inviting.

• Back of House – organised and efficient types who enjoy prepping and plating food behind the scenes.

• Kitchen Porters – the unsung heroes who keep everything clean, running smoothly, and everyone smiling.

You’ll be working as part of a small, supportive team where everyone pitches in and gets stuck in. It’s a fast-paced environment but with good vibes, laughs, and fresh air.
