The company:

• Passionate about coffee. That's Costa. Since our creation in 1971, when we started supplying coffee slow roasted the Italian way, we've grown to over 1500 stores worldwide.

What we will be looking for in you:

• For the role of Assistant Manager, we are looking for a leader and role model, someone with customer service experience who is used to working as part of a team.
• With a natural enthusiasm for the task in hand, you'll be able to share this zeal with the team and motivate them to higher standards.
