  • Supporting the growth of your partners through performance and development, coaching and developing your team and building positive relationships to understand partner challenges, needs and aspirations
  • Setting challenging and realistic goals to drive engagement and improve partner performance

Given the nature of our stores, our working hours could include early mornings, evenings, weekends, nights and/or holidays.

All our retail store partners begin their careers with us by undertaking an introductory training programme which are led by our amazing in store trainers and coaches and are designed to immerse you in the Starbucks culture and set you up for success.

  • 28 days holiday a year (including Bank Holidays) + an additional special day for you to take to celebrate a special moment in your life each year
  • Free drinks and food when you’re on shift
