Location: Whitehall Museum, Cheam, Sutton (SM3 8QD)
Salary: £35,000 - £37,500 per annum + True Autonomy
Closing Date for Applications: 25th June 2026
What if you could run a thriving, beautiful cafe, have total creative control over the seasonal menu, work strictly daytime hours (various Monday–Sunday), and use your skills to genuinely change lives?
Welcome to Beans and Bloom. Located in the historic Whitehall Museum in Cheam, we are a social enterprise run by Nickel Support. We measure our success by the quality of our specialty coffee and the strength of our P&L, but our ultimate bottom line is the lives we transform. We support adults with learning disabilities and autism, giving them the training and dignity to thrive in meaningful employment.
We need a commercially sharp, high-energy Enterprise Manager to take the reins. You aren’t just managing a floor; you’ll act as the "business owner"—driving local marketing, securing catering contracts, engineering high-margin menus, and mentoring a brilliantly diverse team.
What we are looking for:
- 3+ years of hospitality management experience (Cafe, Restaurant, or General Manager).
- Strong financial literacy (P&L management, stock control, margin protection).
- An entrepreneurial mindset—you know how to build a community of "regulars" and drive foot traffic.
- High EQ and patience—you’re excited to adapt workflows to help our trainees thrive.
