Join the Buoy Crew – Coffee, Coast & Community
Buoy Café is a young, vibrant café in the heart of Nobby’s Beach. Just a year old and already buzzing, we’re known for serving award-winning specialty coffee on a Slayer machine with Ubermilk, matched with friendly service and a chilled coastal vibe.
We’re on the hunt for a Head Barista and Café All-Rounders to join our growing team as we gear up for an epic summer. If you’re passionate about coffee, thrive in fast-paced environments, and want to work where the ocean is just steps away, this is the role for you.

- Leadership qualities — coaching and guiding the team behind the machine
- A positive, can-do attitude and love for the hospo buzz
Café All-Rounders (Full-Time / Part-Time / Casual)

You’ll be:

- Happy engaging with customers and creating a welcoming vibe
- Quick on your feet and calm under pressure
- A team player who knows when to hustle and when to smile
