CAREERS
At Campbell & Syme we believe that people who we work with are the most important piece of puzzle in delivering the greatest coffee experience. It’s people who grow the coffee, it’s people involved in export and it’s people behind the bar making the delicious drinks who can make the coffee experience so special. We believe that behind everything we do, there’s collective effort. Sharing and learning together became one of our greatest values and it extends to our everyday life.
We hope to make our company a place where people can grow, where people can share their valuable skills and knowledge. We are always looking for passionate and ambitious people to join our team. Our priority is your determination to learn and passion to work hard, your positive attitude to customers, outstanding service and initiative.

Watch This Space
"Customers come back for the coffee but frankly they also come back because of our team."
Our customershave been writing 5-star reviews for over a decade. They don’t only mention
“great service” — they name specific people, describe the exact cup they had,
and say things like:
“It’s rare to meet a barista who is both so
knowledgeable and approachable.”
“Every time I’m in town, I
go out of my way to stop by.”
“If you know your coffee,
there’s no other option than this café in East Finchley.”
That’s the standard. That’s also the culture we would like you to join.
ABOUT OUR LONDON FLAGSHIP SHOP
East Finchley café is a place for us to connect with a community, share our
experiences and to build people’s understanding about speciality coffee through
public cuppings, coffee workshops and everyday conversations.
Eater London has called us “one of the most consistent cafés in the game.” And it is
true that consistency & friendly customer service have always been our two
priorities.
Our focus on coffee drinks and retail sales will be increasing in the new year, and you will be a big part of driving this forward, growing sales and making a name for yourself in the organisation. We have recently refitted the space and continue to improve the equipment we use to make the best coffee we can and make this store a destination for coffee lovers all over.
