Overview:
Redemption Roasters is looking to appoint a skilled and passionate barista to deliver training courses in HMP High Down and HMP Downview. Both prisons are located in Sutton.

Duties:

Deliver a tried and tested Redemption Roasters barista training course, including espresso preparation, milk steaming technique and pouring, alternative brewing methods, cleaning equipment, and basic grinder and machine maintenance.
Liaise with prison staff, including the Prison Employment Lead and Activities Manager, to ensure courses are well-attended.
Act as a positive role model for course participants and encourage participants to grow outside of their comfort zones whilst respecting professional boundaries.
Conduct basic assessments during the course, coordinate the completion of feedback forms, and track learner journeys, in line with the guidance given by the prisons.
Provide one-to-one support to facilitate sustainable employment for interested participants on their release.
Deliver additional training to participants as is required; this would typically be in Redemption Roasters 13 coffee shops.
