Cheese Loft Café Team Member (20 hours/week)
Are you looking for a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same? Join the friendly team at Northumberland Cheese Company's Cheese Loft Café, helping us deliver a warm welcome and excellent service to all our café and retail customers.
Important: Due to our rural location, you must have access to your own transport.
About the Role
* 20 hours per week, covering shifts between Monday and Sunday, 8:30am to 4:00pm
* This role is NOT suitable for those looking for only weekend or evening work
What You'll Be Doing
You'll get stuck into every part of café life, including:
* Giving customers a great first impression – greeting everyone with a smile and making sure no one is left waiting
* Taking orders at tables, and making sure every detail is right
* Delivering food and drinks to tables, ensuring everything needed is provided
* Working in the kitchen (full training given) to make scones, prepare simple meals, and follow recipes
* Clearing tables promptly and keeping the café spotless, following cleaning schedules
* Working in our on-site shop; serving cheese and other retail items, and making up hampers
What We're Looking For
* A background in customer service, hospitality, café, kitchen, or retail is helpful—but not essential, as full training will be given if you're keen to learn
* Reliable, friendly, and willing to try different tasks each day
* Flexible to work a range of shifts (occasional evenings, when hosting events)
If you're enthusiastic, enjoy delivering excellent service, and want to be a valued part of our close-knit team, we'd love to hear from you
