About SEND Coffee:

SEND, standing for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, is a coffee company delivering real impact. We work with young people aged 18-25 with special needs and disabilities, training them up to be baristas in a competitive market.

We train these young adults with disabilities to be baristas in our shops over a 48-week programme. Once we have finished working with them, we help them find jobs with our partners, who we roast coffee for.

We are a management team with combined experience of well over a hundred shop openings or operations, making us one of the most experienced teams in specialty coffee. We still work barista shifts ourselves, as does everyone in the company, meaning this is an opportunity to join a barista-led organisation. We have a small estate of coffee shops around London.
