Coffee Trainer – QLD

Are you a passionate coffee professional who cares about craft, standards and developing others, and wants to make a genuine impact at scale?

We are looking for a Coffee Trainer to join The Coffee Club in a newly created role that forms part of a broader investment in coffee capability across our national cafe network. As part of this investment, we are partnering with Nomad Coffee Group, a highly respected name in the specialty coffee industry, to provide our trainers with access to world class coffee education, specialist expertise and ongoing professional development.

This role is ideal for experienced baristas or coffee trainers, including those from specialty backgrounds, who want to apply their expertise at a scale that reaches millions of customers.

Who are we?

For 35 years, The Coffee Club has been an iconic and beloved staple in Australia. Built on a foundation of family, friends and meeting customer needs, we are more than just a café. We have created spaces that are casual yet sophisticated, stylish yet affordable.

Today, we are one of the world’s largest Australian café chains, serving millions of loyal customers. With that scale comes a renewed focus on lifting coffee quality, consistency and capability and that is where this role comes in.

What is the role?

Reporting to the Head of Training, the Coffee Trainer is responsible for delivering and embedding The Coffee Club’s coffee training program across Queensland supporting both company‑owned and franchise cafés.

You’ll play a key role in executing our coffee strategy by:

• Delivering hands‑on barista training and in‑store coaching
• Building coffee capability and confidence across café teams
• Conducting in store coffee audits and maintaining equipment and brand standards
• Driving coffee initiatives and supporting the successful rollout of national programs
• Championing a strong, engaged coffee culture
• Creating memorable coffee experiences through cuppings, tastings, sensory sessions or competitions to build pride and connection
• Collaborating with Operations, Marketing, Food Safety and field leadership teams to achieve shared business objectives

You’ll plan and manage your training activity across the state, ensuring sessions are well‑communicated, well‑attended, and outcomes are tracked.

This is a fully remote, field-based role. While you will work with a high level of autonomy, you will be strongly supported by a collaborative network of field leaders and a highly engaged head office team.

Who are we looking for?

You’re a confident coffee professional who enjoys developing others and setting high standards.

You’ll bring:

• Proven coffee expertise and a genuine passion for developing others
• Strong barista skills and experience delivering hands-on training and in store coaching
• Experience developing team capability and driving consistent coffee standards
• A sound understanding of coffee quality, equipment care and best practice maintenance
• The ability to create engaging coffee experiences, including cuppings, tastings, sensory sessions and competitions
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work effectively across Operations, Marketing, Food Safety and field leadership teams
• A passion for fostering a strong and engaged coffee culture

This role requires regular travel between cafés throughout Queensland. A current driver’s license and access to a reliable vehicle are essential.

Highly regarded (but not essential):

• Nomad Barista certification
• Certificate IV Training & Assessment
• The Coffee Club Gold Level Accreditation

Why work with us?

• Be part of a newly created, strategically important team
• Access world‑class coffee development through Nomad Coffee Group
• Apply specialty‑grade thinking at national scale
• Grow your career as a coffee educator and leader
• Flexible working arrangements to support work-life balance
• A range of employee benefits including employer-funded paid parental leave, purchased annual leave, and access to subsidised training and development programs
