We're on the hunt for a hands-on, people-loving cafe leader to help lead the day-to-day life of our busy Cotswolds café.
This is a role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys building a strong team around them, and takes pride in creating a genuinely welcoming atmosphere for every guest — whether they arrive in walking boots or with a muddy dog in tow.
The Role
You'll work closely with the Café Manager to keep everything running as it should from the morning rush to the last tables of the day. You'll be trusted to take the lead on shift, set the tone for the team, and make sure standards never slip.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Leading shifts and being the go-to person on the floor
* Encouraging and developing the front-of-house team
* Maintaining excellent service standards at all times
* Supporting staff training and onboarding
* Managing stock levels and placing orders with suppliers
* Upholding food safety, cleanliness and health & safety procedures
* Stepping in wherever needed during busy periods
About You
We're looking for someone who:
* Has solid experience in hospitality (supervisory experience is ideal)
* Feels comfortable taking responsibility and making decisions
* Communicates clearly and confidently
* Stays composed under pressure
* Is organised, dependable and proactive
* Enjoys being part of a close-knit team
What You'll Get
* A warm, supportive working environment
* Staff discounts and team perks
* The chance to work in a well-loved Cotswolds café
* A role with real input and responsibility
If you're ready to step up, take ownership, and be part of something special, we'd love to hear from you.
