-----No late shifts - be home for dinner every night -----
We’re a thriving independent café known for great coffee, fresh food and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. We’re busy — and we mean busy. Our days are fast-paced, full-on and energetic, with a constant flow of customers and plenty happening behind the scenes.
We’re looking for an enthusiastic, hands-on Assistant Manager who loves being in the thick of it and can keep a cool head when the pressure is on. You’ll be right at the heart of the action helping lead the team, keeping service moving, jumping in wherever you’re needed and making sure our high standards never slip, even when its rammed.
This is a role for someone who thrives on a busy environment rather than someone who wants to sit on the sidelines. You’ll need energy, pace, initiative and the ability to juggle multiple priorities at once.
