Overview
We are excited to be expanding our Cafe team with the addition of 3 new Casual Café & Events Assistants.
The cafe is the vibrant heart of our Community & Activity Village where we serve locally sourced food, freshly prepared using seasonal ingredients on-site with a range of hot, cold and alcoholic beverages.
We are looking for Casual Café & Events Assistants to support the smooth running of our Community Café and Conferencing space. Working as part of our team, we would offer you shifts as part of the planned rota, to support large events but also for last minute emergencies to cover sickness, holidays etc.
As a member of our Casual team, you would be under no obligation to accept any shifts offered but we would hope that you would be flexible and accommodating to work with us to ensure we have the cover we need to operate to our full potential.
On a day to day basis, you can expect your role to include:
* Working as part of a team to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the village café.
* Welcoming visitors in a warm, friendly manner.
* Serving drinks and food products efficiently and politely, including for bespoke events and conference facilities.
* Supporting the Hospitality Team in setting up, setting down and delivering events
* Promoting a welcoming, inclusive and community-focused environment
* Check and maintain stock levels throughout shifts
* Keep the food and drink storage clean and tidy on shifts
* Clean and tidy the café, bar and conference areas on shifts, being mindful of COVID safe working practices
