Casual Cafe Staff jobs in Canberra ACT

THE OPPORTUNITY

Love great coffee and even better conversations? Join the team at Club Lime CISAC - Viva Leisure's flagship club and the very site where the Club Lime story began over 20 years ago. CISAC is one of the largest and busiest facilities in the Club Lime network, home to Club Lime's biggest gym floor, Club Blue aquatics, and Club Swim's learn-to-swim school - meaning our café is a genuine hub of activity, with a steady stream of members and guests to meet each day.

As a Café Attendant, you'll be the friendly face members look forward to seeing every visit. You'll craft quality coffees, serve up tasty food and drinks, and keep our café buzzing with the kind of warm, welcoming energy that makes people feel right at home.

This casual role comes with flexible hours to fit around your life - whether that's study, another job, or just keeping your week open. No two shifts are the same: one day you might be perfecting a flat white, the next you're chatting with regulars or helping restock the shelves. If you've got a knack for customer service, a keen eye for detail, and enjoy working as part of a close-knit team, we'd love to hear from you.

Bring your energy and passion for great service - we'll help you build the rest!
