About Us
Mini Villagers Co is a brand-new roleplay village and family café, opening in mid-September in Aintree. We're creating a welcoming space where children can explore imaginative play while families enjoy delicious brunch-style food, fresh juices, smoothies, and coffee in a relaxed setting.
The Role
We're looking for 2 part time or 1 full time and 1 part time bubbly, friendly, energetic, and reliable Café All-Rounders (Play Assistants) to join our team. This is a varied role where you'll support both the café and play village—helping us create safe, fun, and memorable experiences for families.
What You'll Do
* Greet families and deliver excellent customer service.
* Take orders, serve food and drinks, and operate the till.
* Prepare hot/cold drinks and assist with light food preparation.

* Assist at birthday parties and special events, including food service, set-up, and clear-down.
* Keep café, kitchen, and play spaces spotless, following hygiene and safety standards at all times.
* Support the wider team wherever needed from café floor to play village.
* Keep all areas spotless — wiping tables, hoovering, mopping floors, and cleaning toilets to a high standard.
What We're Looking For
* Experience in hospitality, childcare, or customer service is desirable but not essential.
* A warm, approachable personality with a love for working with children and families.
* Flexibility and a can-do attitude willing to jump in wherever needed.
* Strong awareness of hygiene, safety, and cleanliness.
* Ability to multitask and remain calm in a lively, family-focused environment.
* Must be willing to complete a DBS check before starting (non-negotiable).
* Must be able to work weekends.
