We’ve got an exciting opportunity for you to join us as an apprentice Assistant Store Manager at the Euston Road Starbucks. Find your place as a leader at Starbucks and help us build the brand’s future. If you're welcoming, helpful and friendly with a desire to learn new skills then this could be the perfect role for you. Apply today to start your fantastic career at Starbucks!

At Starbucks, we're not just about brewing great coffee, we're about brewing great leaders too.  Here your voice is brewed into everything we do. Here you’ll take the lead of the shift, working with your team of baristas to create our Starbucks Experience for our customers with high quality service, beverages and products, whilst creating our third place environment.

To be successful in the role, you’ll have previous experience in leading a team in a dynamic, fast-paced and customer-focused retail or hospitality environment. You’ll champion our mission and values to create our Starbucks experience for our customers and partners. You’ll bring your commercial acumen with the ability to translate metrics into actions whilst confidently managing both people and operational priorities. We’re looking for leaders with a growth mindset and an appetite for growing your leadership career.

You’ll spend your time running shifts with our customers at the core, through coaching your team and creating a positive learning environment for your partners on shift. You’ll be solving problems in the moment, as you’ll be responsible, alongside the store management team, to achieve results through making an impact and achieving goals and creating our best moments through operational excellence. You’ll be an ambassador for our partner networks, making sure our partners know, here they belong.

The best part about this role is that no two days are ever the same! Working in one of our dynamic stores, a typical day could include:

  • Leading shifts with a focus on delivering commercial results and world-class customer experience and ensuring every partner is set up for success
  • Taking ownership of our KPIs including labour efficiency, waste reduction, and sales performance
  • Ensuring shift deployment meets planned roles and routines, adjusting to optimise customer experience

Training schedule

The Training for this Apprenticeship will take place in the work place.

Each Apprentice will be supported throughout the apprenticeship by a structured programme of teaching, e-learning, face to face training and workplace mentoring; this will encourage and help them to meet the requirements of the new standards and will prepare them for the end of point assessment. Once the apprentice has completed a minimum of 12 months training and the employer and Inspiro's regional trainer confirm they have met all the requirements of the standard they will be put through to end point assessment.

The end point assessment is independent from the training and includes a variety of assessment methods which test the skills and knowledge of the apprentice to ensure they are fully competent in their role.
