About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to be the friendly face behind every energizing cup of coffee at a vibrant women’s fitness space? We’re searching for a passionate Female Barista to join our welcoming, ladies-only gym in Ras Al-Khaimah. If coffee brings you as much joy as a great workout (and you don’t mind a little morning motivation yourself), this just might be your ideal next gig. Here’s your chance to craft exceptional drinks while brightening up our members’ days — all in a truly supportive, all-female environment.
About the Company
We’re more than just a gym — we’re a close-knit community where women come to recharge, connect, and, of course, refuel. Our team genuinely cares about every member’s well-being, and we have a soft spot for positive energy and new ideas (Friday smoothie tastings? We’re all in!). You’ll find us cheering each other on, celebrating big and small wins, and, yes, swapping favorite coffee hacks throughout the week.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Crafting a range of hot and cold coffee beverages just the way our members love them, from smooth cappuccinos to refreshing iced lattes.
- Bringing warmth to every interaction — greeting each member with a friendly smile and making them feel right at home.
- Keeping your coffee station sparkling clean and organized, because you know a tidy setup sets the stage for great flavor.
- Managing basic cafe supplies and reporting when a restock is needed (nobody likes running out of beans!).
- Sharing your coffee know-how, whether a member wants a recommendation or is curious about your brewing technique.
- Maintaining a safe and hygienic workspace in line with our health standards.
What You’ll Bring
- Some hands-on barista experience or a genuine enthusiasm for coffee (you know your arabica from your robusta).
- A positive, approachable attitude — you make friends wherever you go and love uplifting others.
- Willingness to learn and adapt, especially in a fun, lively gym environment.
- Ability to communicate comfortably in English; Arabic is a plus but not required.
- Reliability when it comes to time management and keeping things organized.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Ladies-only team and clientele — enjoy a relaxed, supportive, and empowering environment.
- Flexible shifts that fit around your life (and workouts, if you’re so inclined!).
- Complimentary gym membership and discounts on our health café menu.
- Opportunities to suggest menu specials, get creative with recipes, and even lead a coffee-tasting session (if you like).
- Friendly, down-to-earth colleagues who treat every day like a fresh start.
We’re committed to building a workplace where you feel valued just as you are. If you love coffee, people, and a sense of everyday accomplishment, you’ll fit right in!
