Current Vacancies

“ I’ve worked at Caffè Nero since 2004. One of the things I love most about my job is seeing my team progress in the same way I have. To develop my knowledge, and be a better manager, I recently completed a Coaching Apprenticeship. My aim has always been to put people at the front of everything else and the development programme has taught me how to do that in the best possible way, in line with the values I share with the Company. ”

Danka, Area Manager
