Job Description

Role: Packing and Production Assistant 

Location: Poblado Coffi, Nantlle

Position Type: Full-Time or Part-Time

Salary: Dependent on age and experience – We pay more than the Living Wage

Reports to: Operations Manager  

Application closing date: 30/09/25

Pobl (Welsh): people

Poblado (Spanish): town, village, community, humanity

Poblado represents the kind of place in which we want to live and work; where the quality of our produce is as important as the relationships we develop with our customers, suppliers, and of course the producers themselves. 

We are Speciality Coffee Roasters, based in the heart of Eryri (Snowdonia) in the beautiful Nantlle valley, with a small, close-knit team of five. We supply cafes, shops and restaurants all over North Wales and beyond, as well as our ever-growing online sales direct to customers around the world. 

We also operate a (very) small café on site and are in the process of an exciting new development just down the road in Dolydd, with increased capacity for both production and customer experience. This is a really exciting time for Poblado Coffi, and we are looking for a motivated, passionate individual to join the team. 

As a Packing and Production Assistant, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring our coffees are accurately packed, labelled, and prepared for shipment. You’ll support the roastery team with daily production tasks and maintain a clean, organised workspace that upholds our quality standards. 

All of our staff chip in to keep the outdoor café running smoothly, without disrupting production and packing too much. It’s important that you have some experience making coffee and serving customers, as you’ll be doing this regularly throughout the day – especially when the weather is dry 

You’ll need to be comfortable working in an environment that can sometimes be loud and hot – with appropriate PPE of course. The role will involve some physical tasks, including lifting and carrying, and standing at workstations/machines for extended periods.

 Accurately weigh, grind (as needed), and pack roasted coffee into retail and wholesale bags.

 Apply correct labels and ensure packaging meets visual and quality standards.

 Flexible working from Day One

 Contributory pension scheme (NEST)

 Unlimited coffee on and off shift
