At Cafédirect, we do things differently. We're a pioneering social enterprise working with smallholder coffee, tea and hot chocolate growers to deliver award-winning hot drinks to the retail and foodservice industries.
On June 27th 2018 we became the UK's 1st B Corp Certified Coffee Company.
The secret is that small farmers have a big love for their farms ...and that's what makes our coffee, tea and hot chocolate taste so good.
In return we pay growers what they deserve, instead of paying middlemen. And by working together in true partnership we do more, investing over 50% of our profits in growers to create a more sustainable future.
Whether your child's ill, you're waiting for a package, or you have some deep-focussed work to do, we all work from home (or café) from time to time. We encourage everyone to work from home when you need to.
In line with a salary framework, to ensure equal pay for equal work and that we recognise and reward when your responsibilities increase.
33 days’ holiday a year (inc UK public holidays), and we encourage you to use them all up! It's a marathon, not a sprint.
If you want to take more time off than your holiday we're happy to accommodate that.
Private health insurance, and paid sick leave (for both your physical and mental health).
Well-paid maternity, paternity and adoption leave, which you're eligible for if you join more than 13 weeks before your expected date of childbirth or adoption.
Pensions, with a 9% employer contribution.
Regular team socials. Anything from summer picnics to bowling.
We are registered under the Cycle-to-Work scheme, so you can buy a bike and accessories tax-free.
We'll contribute towards books, training courses and conferences that help you learn and grow in your role here.
Monthly lunchtime learning sessions, we provide the lunch. Anything from learning more about coffee, the environment or something we are all passionate about.
