Barista - Coffee-shop

For over 40 years, Bridgehead has been sourcing and supporting a family of small-scale, sustainable farmers around the world. Bridgehead is recognized and respected as a leader in bringing approachable, responsibly sourced, high scoring coffee to Canadians. We were the first to bring Fairtrade coffee to Ottawa coffeehouses and continue to be a place where you can enjoy an exceptional cup of coffee, directly sourced from global producers. Locally, Bridgehead supports hundreds of neighborhood organizations every year, including in-kind donations of coffee, tea, gift baskets and gift cards. Bridgeheaders care, they care about the customers and products they enjoy, about each other, and about how their workplace looks and feels. Our Baristas/Bridgeheaders take pride in a job well done and a successful day. They act and model behaviors consistent with Bridgehead's visions and values of sustainable fair trade and community service. They contribute to a positive and inspiring workplace culture in which they are encouraged to seek both personal and professional growth and success.
