£25,000 - £35,000 a year

Offer description

* Are you looking for a full time role within the busy and brilliant world of Hospitality?
* Looking to take your first step into a management position?
* Coming with great Customer Service skills, bags of energy and enthusiasm and up for a challenge?

Then THIS could be the perfect role for you

Come and join the crew here at Clip 'n Climb Cambridge – Your award-winning 'climbing centre meets theme park' right here in Cambridge – as we are on the lookout for a new member of the team to come on board as a FRONT OF HOUSE & CAFÉ TEAM LEADER.

This role is for 40 hours a week, and will be on a Tuesday-Saturday shift pattern.

Typical hours during term times are all day on a Saturday, and then afternoons into early evening on weekdays. During school holidays, this will change to whole day shifts.

About the role

We are looking for someone who:

* Has had some experience of supervising a team, but would like to take the first step into managing a team and department. Full training is given in this role – we're looking for someone with the right attitude and commitment to learn, rather than someone with loads of management experience.
* Likes working with children and young people
* Enjoys a fast-paced customer service role

Our Front of House and Cafe Team Leader has a dual role.

During the week, the role is very much admin based, working with our FOH Supervisor to oversee enquiries for Clip 'n Climb Cambridge and our sister site, ZAPT Laser Tag, putting in orders – as well as making sure that our Café and Kitchen are well stocked and clean. You'll work closely with our Management team to make sure all systems are efficient, have great ideas for seasonal menus, plus manage the rota for the FOH Team. You will manage a budget for FOH, deal with ordering and suppliers, and oversee all food hygiene for the Centre. You will manage the Front of House Team, helping with ongoing training, managing recruitment drives when needed.

During the weekend shift, the role changes to be overseeing the FOH team to make sure all operations work well, whilst working as part of the team in either café, reception or in the kitchen. You will eventually be one of our Duty Managers.

This is an active role, and so we're looking for someone that likes to work as part of a team. This could include any aspect of the café operation from preparing food for birthday parties, serving in our cafe, hosting birthday parties, cleaning and maintenance of equipment and facilities, working on reception, answering enquiries, and ongoing efforts to maintain our high standards of health and safety and customer-care.

So - WHO is it we are looking for?

We believe that you will be someone who is:

* Great with customers. You're proud to represent your place of work and love to create an exciting, positive customer experience to keep your guests coming back for more.
* Great leading a team. We're looking for someone who has had experience as at least a Supervisor of a team.
* Someone who thrives in a busy and fast-paced environment
* An enthusiastic team player able to work with other colleagues in a dynamic business.
* Computer literate, and confident using booking systems/Microsoft/Outlook/social media
* Organised with their time and working style
* Someone with a professional outlook, able to work under own initiative without supervision.
* Excellent in terms of interpersonal and communication skills with children and adults.
* Happy to communicate on the phone, email and social media
* Good with your time. Time-keeping is important to you and you're naturally organised and able to prioritise your workload.
* Upbeat and positive - able to work as part of a team with a cheerful disposition and remaining calm under pressure.
* Interested in sport and physical activities - it's what we do, and it's great if you can help on the arena from time to time
* Happy to climb to a height of 10 metres if needed You may be asked to help on our climbing arena from time to time.
